I would tend to agree that a good welder could fix this cheaper than buying a new sump. Make sure to insist that the welder is going to either "TIG weld" the part, or "Heli-arc" it. (Basically the same process.)

Probably it will need some machining too.

Alternately, you may be able to find a used one somewhere.

I'm more interested as to why it cracked to begin with. Pictures please?
