This isn’t a recommended fix but was an interesting jury rigged solution I found on an engine I’m working on. I think it could be done more elegantly and with less obstruction of the pickup tube. The problem is that it still involves fabrication and potential for tapping debris to get in the case. Better fix is to split the case and fix properly. But it is an insight to a potential in situ fix.
