as topic, sump gasket is leaking and needs replacing.
all advice greatly recieved !!!!!

 

They dont have a gasket just sealer.
It is a big nasty job and unless you are good with the spanners it's prob best left to the pro's

 

Yes it is a pain in the but. You will have to seperate the motor fromthe crossmember to be able to get the pan out of there.

basiacally make a mess of all the fluids that are the engine bay and atleast a days work.

mine actually had a rubber gasket and the gasket set I got came with a cork gasket. I reused the rubber, but I think I tightened it to much and may have caused some damage. it is hard to get it torqued right. thus better and easier to use the liquid sealant method.
