Can anyone tell me if sealant would be needed for the new sump gasket as I am seeking prices to get this job done at the weekend.

Just spoke to VX parts and they were unable to get me a price as they need the engine number is it visible with the bonnet open, Vx mentioned its on the Log Book but that's at home.

Cheers in advance

Right as funds have been limited as of late, I have been doing one job at a time.

Having had a good look under the engine I still have an oil problem, rear driveshaft I have had checked and I have also cleaned it and I have been told not to worry about it.

When I had the engine tray off yesterday I had a good look around the oil sump pan and although there is oil on the seal I dont think this is my problem.

If the sump seal was leaking I would have thought the sump would be covered and there are signs of oil seeping from some where higher up the engine. Oil is not dripping from the engine to the floor.

On the right hand side of the engine there is something screwed into the top of the Sump pan with a connector on it not sure what this is, then further up you have the rear crank breather, thing is there is signs of oil behind the rear cambelt cover having run down the front of the engine block so I am suspecting it could be the Rocker cover leaking at the front, although the last time I removed the plugs the wells were bone dry.

Another which crossed my mind is the main crank seal panic if this is the case.

Can anyone Identify for me what is screwed into the top of the sump pan on the right hand side.

So many option as to whats causing the leak, need to get underneath and have a proper leak, at the moment oil/crud is on the aux tensioner and in that general area.

Anyone had this or has similar to this.

Cheers
Roy

Chances are that is the oil level sensor.

Cheers for that Mark, had a feeling it maybe that shall see if the haynes has any details, pretty sure the seal on that is good even though its coated.

The best part is it was done about 5months ago but at the time I was given the green crap so this is possibly my problem.

Can anyone tell me the easiest way of getting rid ofn old oil/crud off the engine.

Would pressure washing do the job?

I bought 2 job lots of 1) carb cleaner and 2) brake cleaner off e-bay.  Both in packs of 24, both biggish aerosol cans of name make cleaner. Allows me to clean/degrease exactly where I want, without too much fear of pressure washing something important.

Cost wasn't too bad.  It was some time ago now, cannot recall exact price, but I thought it cheaper then than the motor factors!!

edit to show where I got them...  Doh!!

I shall keep an eye out on Ebay but I need to get the leak sorted first before doing anything.  Smiley
