Is there a good product I can use to seal a crack in my sump.

What is your sump made of? Where is the crack specifically?

It is a pro clear 75 wet / dry. The leak is coming from the bottom left
seam. I believe this is a plasic sump.

I bet it is acrylic. You'll need to get some Weld-On #16,
and then run a bead in the crack - after you've thoroughly
dried off the area. Let it cure 24 hours, then water test
it again.

NOTE: The bead should not be applied like caulk, just
enough to fill the crack/gap, no more!

Theres a pretty good sale on ebay for weld-on. Search for "ips weld-on".
