This is a non stress area and non pressurised oil holder.
So as mentioned the two part epoxy weld, JB etc will work, obviously an aluminium weld is better but costly.
However as a cheap easy one to do yourself is a visit to your local
B&Q (where you can also pick up that nice flowering pot plant for someone special in the garden section or that extra large roll of insulation you always wanted)
Or a plumber shop and pick up a compression coupler with lock
nuts and rubber washers, use this to cover the hole and then use a blanking cap to hold the oil back.
Metal and plastic parts are available.
I had a look at Screwfix and Toolstation both have the parts also
Compression Coupler Male 15mm x 1/2" or bigger as necessary.
Bolt though with large rubber/plastic washers and use the "Stop end" to finish the job.
Take your sump pan with you and play with the parts........
Have a FUN day out.
