Sump leak

Has anyone had problems with the R sump leaking after being taken off? I have removed it twice now and it still leaks like buggery when sitting, fine when running(ish). :cry:

Do they get bent out of shape and is the Nissan gasket pretty thick as I just bought some gasket paper and stuck some gunk on it?

Also, pattern oil filters are shite. :roll:

Hi,

yes they are easily deformed, I had to redo mine after Nissan fitted a new short block. In all honesty the best sealant I have come accross for it is Nissans own, lovely orange colour at about £30 a tube, got it free cause of the f*** up, plus money I had spent with them.

If you have access to an engineers surface plate, check it on that,

Regards

Hi mate, my sump is leaking from a crack in it, apart from a new one do you have any idea where i can get one from or would you recomend a brand new one?

I re-sealed my sump the week before last,i got the sealant from Halfords specifically for sealing sumps,cost £5 for a small tube but did the trick.
