4 Pot leaking oil from sump sensor connector.

just had a look under the car, oil is leaking from the sump sensor at the connection. The plastic connector feels loose in the sump.

Someone please tell me that the bottom half of the sump doesn't have to come off to tighten/seal it, because it looks that way as there are no bolts on the outside  Sad

feck Angry

Any idea how much the gasket costs. I doubt I could afford it ATM or to keep feeding it with oil Cry

Is there no way to seal it from the outside?  Undecided

Surely you should know, you have a 2.0  Undecided

Back on track yup its sump off, not too bad a job really on 4 pots, just think of it as a very thorough oil change  Smiley

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine
