Its a bit of a pain... I have a crank tool 
There are bolts inside the sump that need undoing.......I am trying to remember but doesnt the dipstick  have a clip in the sump to hold it in.......

Where the oil pump fits to the block you use sealant..... like I said not seen any actually leak from there. Ask The Master to see if he has....if not I doubt it will be that as he and I have seen quite a few between us

I asked at Newent, but he seemed to give the impression it was unlikely.  A localish member to me, jb, who has had a fair few Omegas, has seen leaks from there.


Any other ideas where it could leak? Reckon its that side of the block, as it initially appears on the top of the sump, between block and compressor.

Mr Haynes says nowt about the compressor, simply that the alternator needs slackening in order to swing it to one side

Aloy plate between bottom of block and top of the sump ? My p/fl sprung a leak from there,at which point I sold it.

As in the upper sump? DLK resealed that for me a while back....

Lets do it then. I assume your oil pump is ok still, so just a atter of removing it, clean up then reseal.... cambelt needs to come off, sump, sump casting....oil pump slides forwards when all the bolts are removed

[Darth Loo-knee]

Just like that
Be a good days work I tell ya that

I did suspect as much when we where tryingfailing to remove the dipstick at Wycombe, but TB was less than convinced

If it is that seal that is leaking, the pump should just fall off

[joshwyatt]

So, when do we want to do this?
