Morning chaps,
I have a engine which has been freshened up, when I returned to the garage after filling it with oil, it has leaked everywhere. I pulled the gearbox thinking its from the rear oil seal but I don’t see any oil, after much reading I saw a comment about sump bolts coming into the bottom of the engine and oil seeping past the bolt ! can that be the case, it lost all its oil in 24 hours ? any other ideas ? I’ve purchased a 2mm sump gasket and will do my best to have the mating surfaces as flat as possible. Should I then locktight the sump bolts ? extra sealant etc..
As always, thanks in advance for your comments …
