Default 4X4 sump gasket

Mine leaks a bit too much now!

So want to renew it, was there something about using 2wd gaskets? As they seal better, or am i thinking about something else?

Oh and anyone has the finis no's to make my trip to fords quick and simple! Cheers

Pretty sure the 4x4 doesn’t come with a gasket and just uses sealant instead

looking at it, there are seals ( half moon ) at front and rear, and then as said just use a sealer.

Where does the seals?
