The sump was bad...corrosion in the usual spot near the front drain. That one is a loss.

Arash-
How did you determine the sump was bad, had it been weld repaired already, or was there a hole all the way thru? I'm curious.

From an earlier post, Tom Downey says he can repair it, but it might be expensive. It might be worth it if someone needs one bad enough.
