I got fed up with the pressed steel sumps which seem to leak by design. They also tend to have pin holes rusted through. If an engine is left standing then the condensation ends up in the sump and rusts it's way through.
In the end I got a shallow alloy sump from Tony Betts. The Nippy sump is so big I suspect the oil never really gets warm.
When removing the engine I take the sump off and remove the oil pump pickup. Ours is extended to allow for the slightly deeper sump. It makes getting engine out much easier.
