Hey there guys.
This ones got me.
I changed my oil filter and oil. To do two jobs at once i was planning to change the sump gasket at the same time.
After unbolting nearly all the bolts, i found there was two i could not reach at the one end - as i have now read about they are a bugger to get to.
I gave up and screwed it all back together.
I then drove from Birmingham to Bristol with out a hitch.
The next day after a 10 mile drive, i pulled up and lost loads of oil when i stopped (pouring). I have checked all the bolts are tight (and there), sump bolt and oil filter is seated right. I topped her up and now it seams that i loose some (10 -12 splashes) mainly when i got in reverse.
The oil seems to come from by/near the filter (above the sump but its hard to see)
Could i have killed the sump gasket totally?
Could the torque from reverse upset it?
Anyone know how to reach those two bolts?
Anyone own a garage they wanna fix my car in for free?
All help is appreciated
