Hi Shortcircuit

They sometimes turn up on ebay or you could get one from a Breakers Yard

Are you sure it is a Crack and not a molding mark?

These things are pretty rugged, so cracking in normal use would seem unusual

Thanks for the reply. Yeah it’s a crack aright. The molding seam fooled me at first however. This one had a motor swap done. Maybe it was “bumped”. At any rate all just keep an eye out. I’ve got a towel under it to catch the fluid for now. If anyone has one for sale let me know. Thanks again!
