oil problem-o

Postby danny09 » Sat Feb 13, 2010 10:23 am

i seem to have a slight oil leak - from what i can see it is coming from the sump - where the oil pan bolts to the underside of the engine at the front there you can only see if you get under and look up but does this mean drop the oil take off and change gasket - i havent got right under to look but is it just a case of a few bolts and the oil pan will drop straight out or is there a whole load of other crap in the way? or is there even a quick fix

cheers

Most of the bolts are accessable, it's the ones at the back under the steering rack that will make the job hard, i need to fit a turbo sump to mine but will probably get a garage to do it, that way if it leaks they have to put it right at their expense
