Girlfriends £200 punto is weeping oil from front of sump, needs topping up every few days!

It's not worth doing properly so any advice to bodge it? I was thinking tiger seal all over sump when it's been cleaned up?

Cheers all!!

 

Surely you could get a sump from a scrappy for a tenner and bolt it on?

 

chemical metal

 

Exhaust has to come off and it ain't going back on lol

Chemical metal over tiger seal?

 

Chemical metal will do it

 

whatever you do it needs to be clean and dry which is difficult to do if your not removeing the sump, it will weep a little oil for ages unless its emptied and cleaned from the inside.

if you can get it clean and dry I think I would jb weld a piece of tin to it, ive jb welded a self tap screw in the bottom of a block that was porous and leaking a jet of water in the sump and its still going strong so far, touch wood lol

 

Fix it properly or buy her a new car. If the zorst won't go back on then chuck a new one on, it will be £100 or less

 

A new sump is only £30ish from your local parts people and you DO NOT need to take the exhaust off to replace them either as the sump slides out no problem. I do about 3 a month for customers and it will only take you 30 mins tops to remove and replace. Just make sure yo leave the sump glue to dry for a few hrs before you put the oil back in and then your ready to go again.

 

I done it once, I keyed it up with 180, sprayed it with carb cleaner and used chemical metal, it did work, all depends on the surface etc

 

the sumps on these are a common problem because they rot, as soon as you start tampering with it, it will be worse.

as said above, sump should be no more than £10-15 from a scrappy. dont bother fucking around trying to bodge something

 

Metal weld stuff will do it.

 

encase it in concrete.

 

Glue a biscuit tin do it like the cunt of a previous owner did to my Bora when he caught it on a speed bump and cracked it

 

Just when you think you've seen it all, a bloody biscuit tin

 

Ha ha ha ha

New favourite bodge

 

Did it do the job?

 

Surprisingly, it did! Quality biscuit tins

 

Hope it didn't leave any crumbs in your oil
