I cured my sump gasket leak by helicoiling all the damaged sump bolt threads and fitting the sump back with a paper gasket, well covered in grease and new bolts. Still haven't been able to cure the leak from the nearside rear of the block to crankcase joint, though I am beginning to suspect that it is coming from the tappet cover. However, since the engine is using (leaking?) less that 500 miles per pint, I shall live with it.
