Thought I'd fixed all the oil leaks on the m44 1.9 . Oil filter housing gasket and o-rings, rocker cover gasket and dipstick o ring all successfully fixed.
I put new oil in on Monday and seemed leak free until this morning . Had a drip hanging from the splash guard near the sump. Further investigation revealed seepage from sump gasket which didn't previously leak . Don't think this cars oil had been changed in years. had a look and seems a big enough job however I am reluctant to take her off the road again even for a couple of days.
Do you guys have any experience or advice on using external sealant as a temp fix. I was planning to clean round exterior of gasket and apply sealant any help would be appreciated. Tx
