Have had pug and oil level sensor replaced but still dripping oil.
Been told that the oil sump pan maybe porous??????
How do I check? And where do I get a replacement?
-
First step is to look the exact spot where it's leaking :y
-
Get it well cleaned, then wait a day / few days to discover. Also don't forget an oil leak doesn't have to be coming from the sump - may be dribbling down from anywhere - including the camcovers. Have you cleaned your breathers lately? :)
-
Yes breathers cleaned a couple of weeks ago and leak is at the bottom of engine very low down.
-
Oil filter housin or sump gasket propably, but as Geezer said clean up engine and after few days check to see what parts are oily :)
-
Sumps have two gaskets as they're two piece... Front crank seal is another firm favourite. Any leaks from here drain everywhere...
-
Oil pressure sensor, dipstick, oil pump... ...so many places.
I feel your pain, having spent since before Guffer's big meet chasing an oil leak, unsuccessfully.
-
Mind you, a bit of oil on the sump pan stops it rusting.

That's why my old carlton had factory new bottom :D
