Ive used JB Weld to repair many different things over the years.

The tricks are:

Key the surfaces & make sure there spotlessly clean.

Mix the JB weld correctly.

Try & press the 2 parts together then use some sort of vice / clamp / support to hold them together.

Let it fully cure.

Id have a go with the JB weld first before replacing the sump.

do you have to sand the surface to provide more contact area?

Forever if applied correctly unless you attack it with a grinder or other tools.

you can leave the box on, just got to make sure you don't mix up the bolts when taking it off.
there are 2 different length bolts on there.
if your going to take it off you might as well get it tig welded to be safe, cheap enough to get done
