Can the sump be welded?
I just back today from sunny Cyprus on a lovely week's holiday and was greeted by a rough/low oil sounding engine for the first second and then a nice "Engine oil level - visit workshop" message. I thought it might be a sensor, so I tentatively added small amounts of oil to see if the level might have been slightly low....I looked under the car and low and behold...oil was dripping out from the sump 
I'll investigate it fully on Saturday morning. My main question is, if I rip off the sump, can I simply get the leaks welded, or would that not be advisable? If not I guess I'll just buy another sump.
