Slowxr6t Member 587 Member For: 6y 5m 9d Location: New zealand Posted 06/09/21 07:16 AM Share Posted 06/09/21 07:16 AM Has anyone had a leaky sump, my fgx xr6t sump appears to have a leak in the bottom seam of the sump, it appears to have hairline cracks about the seam right up the front of the sump. I was thinking of getting it alloy welded by an engineer. Or would that be a bad move and destroy it? Could it be jb welded or anything? Thanks guys.

Edit: it's probably residual oil from your leaking turbo drain.

Slowxr6t Member 587 Member For: 6y 5m 9d Location: New zealand Posted 07/09/21 02:09 AM Author Share Posted 07/09/21 02:09 AM After further inspection, I found it's a leaky crank pulley seal, I will replace it soon when I install new ATI balancer and atomic flexplate. I've ordered a genuine ford seal. Any tips for a successful no leak seal and pulley install??
