I get a lot of Jimny stuff from local breakers (who don't over inflate the price 'cos its a 4x4?) Try Jap spares at Sheffield or DMS at Doncaster.

Are you sure its the sump, and not the seal, or even a crank case seal gone, mine weeps from the front and I've changed the rear seal twice. Each time I initially thought the sump gasket had gon. If it is the sump you should be able to get it welded up as I think its only mild steel.
