Found oil leak! MORE questions raised.
The oil leak on my ZVH was coming from the rear of the block where someone had drilled a hole for the oil breather and glued in some sort of old hose fitting, which obviously didn't hold.
My question is what do I do to secure a fitting on there properly as there is no thread? The hole is 11mm in diameter, what size tap would I need to use to put a thread in this? I don't fancy drilling the hole to 18mm due to it being in situ and don't want loads of swarf in my block. Any help is much appreciated, I WILL get this car on the road!!!

I would use a tapered fitting, then just bang it in there, if you can't find a suitable fitting pm me and I'll machine one for you if given the dimensions etc.

Thanks Tabetha, I think I will remove the sump and do it properly.
Is removing the sump on the ZVH a straight forward job or a mare. I know I will need to remove the starter and exhaust but how do I get to the end bolts at the gearbox end?
Thanks again.
