Cracked Sump

Well, the other day i went up a big hill and managed to bottom out which put a small hair line crack in the sump near the drain plug/bolt, which now leaks oil. I was wondering if any of you guys know of any cheap ways to fix this. Just a cheap way cuss i can't be bothered to lift the engine, take the sump off, weld it up and put it all back together again cuss the car only cost me $150 and is soon to be a bush basher. Soo any ideas?

clean it up really well with some carby cleaner and them use some JB weld or simialr on it perhaps... dodgy brothers solution but if you dont want to goto any real effort id give it a shot.

wow.. so bodgy!!!!
JBweld, reinforced with some chux superwipes.... seriously.... but it has to be ultraclean for it to stick properly...
so, maybe roll the car onto it's roof, then clean the sump, then stick on, then roll car onto wheels agin...
or just drive it anyway...
what is it about tassie that creates all these threads? did the internet only just reach there?
