Anyone have a good used oil sump for an O-300 that they want to sell? Mine has corrosion and is leaking just aft of the front drain plug.
Thanks, Paul

Use cauyion when buying an oil sump. They are not all interchangeable. You need and should have a specific part number for the particular part type to fit your engine.

I have the same problem. My pan was repaired by Drake Air in 2011. I now have a crack outside of the welded area.
I see three choices.
Send the pan back to Drake, find a replacement, or send to Okanagan Aero for an epoxy repair.
How about some advice from those who have been down this trial.

Okanagan Aero will not repair a welded pan unless they have changed their minds.
