If the sump bolts were loose it may be that the gasket could need replacing. it may have been damaged by the loosenig or consequent re-tightening.

Right well i took the car for a spin and no blue smoke just abit of white smoke every now and then.Think it might be the engine is just worn or that the sump needs a new gasket
