So yesterday morning when I arrived at work (6:45am) I parked my car up, came in, set up for the day.. I then had to move some of the sales cars around, and in doing so I needed to move Foxxie. So I moved her then walked back to where the sales cars are and on my walk I noticed a rather large slick of oil, I thought to myself, well that wasn't there this morning, so I wonder who's car was parked there ? I then realised it was my ST. Now I knew it was dripping the odd drop of oil, but that was all it was, an odd drop. So I called down to the workshop and said to the lads that I think my tiny oil leak seem to have grown

So Jamie one of our mechanics took Foxxie down to the work shop and then 5 minutes later called me down there. Upon arriving I was greated by the site of there being a tiny hole in my sump on the N/S corner. Jamie offered to fill it with a chemical putty, but I asked for a new sump to be fitted (yes I knew the cost )





So later that day when I popped down to the workshop I could see they had fitted my new sump but sadly the old dipstick case wouldn't come out. In the end it took nearly an hour to remove it, and then another 30mins to fit the new one. The part was ordered for the ST, but it seems there may have been 2 types ? seems very odd.. So next week we will order the other and see if it fits better.
