I personally still think the loom connector or associated wiring may have come adrift, which is located on the outside of the sump.

As you can see the sump will have to come off in order to inspect the connections....

The sump won't have to come off to check/test the connection where the loom plug meets the sump...

When I last removed the lower part of the sump on my V6 the wiring in there was very hard & brittle, consequently one of the wires broke off the level switch. A couple of minutes with a soldering iron sorted it out though. It could be a wire has broken.

I totally agree - but still maintain that it's worth checking the external stuff before dropping the sump

Of course. It'd be a waste of a a gallon (+ a bit) of oil if you didn't.

Getting the sump off my Omega was a nightmare, I had to resort to some very brutal methods.. I have decided I don't like pulling sumps!

Incidently, the oil cooler grey sealent works extremely well to re-seal.

I used a grey sealant to seal/glue my sump pan. I'm not sure if it's what you call the oil cooler sealant. It stuck like the proverbial to a blanket though.
