Oil Leak at bottom of sump
« on: 22 October 2014, 13:03:37 »
Have had pug and oil level sensor replaced but still dripping oil.

Been told that the oil sump pan maybe porous??????

How do I check? And where do I get a replacement?

First step is to look the exact spot where it's leaking :y

Get it well cleaned, then wait a day / few days to discover. Also don't forget an oil leak doesn't have to be coming from the sump - may be dribbling down from anywhere - including the camcovers. Have you cleaned your breathers lately?  :)

Sumps have two gaskets as they're two piece... Front crank seal is another firm favourite. Any leaks from here drain everywhere...

Oil pressure sensor, dipstick, oil pump...  ...so many places.

I feel your pain, having spent since before Guffer's big meet chasing an oil leak, unsuccessfully.

Mind you, a bit of oil on the sump pan stops it rusting.
