So following on from my thread about ground clearance.
Wake up this morning to find I have a puncture in my tyre so a new set of tyres is needed (the old ones were getting changed soon anyway so has finally tipped it over). Then I jack the car up to take the wheels off, I don't have a locking wheel nut remover. I look underneath to find a bit of oil and low and behold the front of my sump is cracked. Right on one of the spines it has taken a hammering. So anyone able to fix this or is it a new sump? Also where do I find one from?

I will weld it for free for you, but the postage could be expensive

Well on further investigation I found that crack didn't go all the way through as the oil isn't leaking from there... Yay
Though I can't find the centre of the problem. What has made me a bit weary is I am finding a brown sludge and some pink fluid coming out with the oil too. I know it doesn't sound good but I am hoping its not a major problem... Any help with this would be helpful.

My coolant is pink. Though the pink glare is from a bottle of muck off.
So I have 3 liquids coming out.

It does sound a lot like a head gasket failure...
Any other symptoms???
