Thread: Major oil leak after sump replacement

All good. Sump back on, no major leaks. There is one drop of oil at the bell housing end after my test run, hopefully that's the remnants of the oil spill in there. If not, ah well, it can wait.

I was more worried about the other end though. The bolt stripped the thread on the front right corner hole. Funny thing though, is that I am sure that it was not overtorqued, as I was using my small ratchet as I couldn't fit the torque wrench in there. There was still a bit of bite, so filled it with silicone gasket glue, pushed the bolt in a hope for the best...

Thanks for the tapping suggestion guys. At the moment, it's not leaking at all, so I am loathe to touch it again I'll revisit it if it leaks or I need to take the sump off again.

I'll be good at it by then too
