This gives you enough room to drop the sump. Should only take 2 or 3 hours.

The exeact thing i would have said, i put a jack under the gearbox to lift the engine up some more too, the more room the better, i wouldnt like to do it again as i was lying in my street in the rain and shit, quite a dirty job.
A small oil leak from the sump isnt a big deal but when you needed an oil pump ( me ) its a must job
I must say im very pleased as i had a tiny leak my self which is now cleared and for the first time in a while my whole engine and sump are bone dry
Get the overalls on and tear into it tabs its great fun
