jcbt Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Just recently purchased 93 jspec tt- had car checked over and everything seems fine apart from small oil leak which I think isfrom sump seal. Is this a common problem and is it right that they dont have gaskets just sealant. Can anyone recommend a good sealant if this is the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Welcome, the sump is just sealed with sealant. I would look carefully around the engine as this seal is not a frequent problem. Is there any sign of oil above the black tin part of the sump? Areas to look for are drivers side behind the aircon pump (oil pressure switch can leak), front crank seal so oil directly below the front crank pulley and at the rear (usually) the cam covers can leak and the oil drips down to the rear of the engine/sump. If the main plastic undertray is on the car then i'd whip this off for a good look around and take a few pics and post them back up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbt Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I live in collier row - just a few drips from passenger side of sump - I will be taking the guard off this weekend so will then have a thorough search just in case its something else. I will get some pictures up soon- just awaiting return of front spoiler which I had repaired as previous owner obviously didnt like kerbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
