Discovered an Oil leak on my 1992 1.9d ZX to coming from the smallest of fractures on the sump...I've heard of sumps wearing out but never had a car where this has happened
Off to the Breakers will any XUD sump suffice? Dont want to make a mistake have you seen all those bolts Thanks in advance.

Yes I've seen all those bolts that needs to come off
Note that there are in fact 2 main types of sumps around :
Earlier type with a slightly raised edge on the middle of the seal surface to help compress the good old style "paper" seal.
Recent type designed the opposite - i.e. sort of slightly hollow to hold a bit more sealant paste.
You can use either - if you're using correct sealing method.
At the same time do a major maintenance to the oil fume and filler hoses - as if the sump pressurises it will strain the seal.
Clean every thing well (incl. bolts) before refitting.
On re-assembly tighten the sump bolts evenly in cross pattern. Do not torque the bolts as they may rip the thread - or snap.
