I would suggest that before you put the P gasket in place, renewing the welch plug might save you some work in the longer term...

The old 300TDi has sat for maybe three years since he broke the timing belt tensioner stud. As I need to get it together to move on from this place, having to tow Dave everytime I need him moved is a PITA, especially alone, so time to get him to run. Major work can wait.
In the box of bits I bought a year ago, belt, tensioner, rockers and push rods, there was a "P" gasket. Ok, while I'm in there....
Of course, there's no way this was leaking...

The three dreaded bolts were a worry, but careful use of an impact gun ( NOT a rattle gun ) seems to free the threads of stickiness. If you've ever broken one of these you'll know what I mean.

It's been so long I don't remember what else was wrong. I'm sure he'll remind me. When I find the right place to move to he can have some proper love. He wasn't a pretty car, but he was a good one.
