Sump or crank seal?

[Mick L]

What's people's opinions then? Before I go all out and take the motor out.

I will avoid it if needed of course as I'm already behind and have a job lined up hopefully in a week and a half.

It could be the crank seal or it could just be the sump gasket.

The CVH sump gaskets are always a pain to get leak free, especially if they are the 4 piece sort with cork sides.

 

But, it’s even harder to get the CVH gasket fitted leak free if the engine is in the car.

I always do them with engine out and upside down.

Thanks, Looks like it's a engine out affair anyway then and a dam good inspection of where it's leaking

As Jim says changing the sump gasket with the engine in the car can be a character forming job.

We have done it and if that’s the only reason for engine out I would have a go with the engine in.

While you have the sump off give it a clean up and check as they love to rust & cause a oil leak.
