There were 2 main areas of leak, the first being the o-ring at the top of the engine, the second being the sump tank and associated seal. Not losing any now

Did you have to take the sump off and replace the sump gasket.

Where did you get your o ring from?

No, I had to replace both the sump and gasket down at the bottom and the o-ring up top (original sump had rusted through and gasket was failing).

O-ring can be sourced from a FIAT dealer.

i have a simillar oil leak around the coil pack. Can anybody tell me what part number is needed ? Mk 1 75 hp 1242

appears to be #18 = seal,

I just use an instant gasket - type of sealant around the flat mating faces,
+ some around the OLD O-ring..,
