    Discovery 1 300TDI Oil Sump Gasket or Silastic sealant?

    Hey guys,

    Upon inspection of my oil sump theres beading oil sitting on the bolts after noticing some leaking going on around that area. I cleaned up the whole area and did a 2nd inspection a day later just to make sure, i'm 99% sure the oil leak is coming from the sump sealer.

    SO i go looking for a replacement and find information online of the 300TDI not having a seal/gasket and people advising to use silastic or another kind of sealant on it.

    However! I did find this - Land Rover Parts - GASKET - SUMP - L/ROVER 300 TDI
    on no, it's a dedicated sump gasket, what to do now!!

    So yes, i'm a bit confused. If I buy the gasket will it do the job or does it have to be done using a sealant?

    Thanks folks have a good one. It's getting cold in Vic so i'm heading to N.W Western Australia in 2 weeks - need to iron out my creases!

    it can go either way.

    the secret to stopping the oil on the bolts is loctite on the threads and a bead of sealstic at the shank/head join.

    To make it even better, I had sealant on mine, it wasn't leaking but removed the sumo to clean the oil pick up and fitted a gasket and I'm yet to see any leaks. Still as dry as ever. Dave will attest to my often poor quality of work, however it is holding up.
