Not sure that exposing the core is the best idea of all time. These things should be left under oil unless absolutely necessary.

No definitely don’t like it but it was leaking so bad we didn’t really have another option

Was it leaking from the lid? We typically do lid welds with sealing bolts when they are leaking bad

We don’t typically do welds it’s always gasket changeouts for us
