General Oil sump!!!

Engine sump, below the bottom end, not the filter.

Aimed at the OP, not the hijacker

Any specific tips? I have just cleaned off and given 3 coats of hammerite to the very poorly item. I note the one tucks into a recess, do the brackets around this need to be removed? Are there screws under there? Do you use a gasket or sealant or both? From where?

To remove the sump, there are hidden bolts yes, exhaust bracket, gearbox support bracket and a thin plate that covers the flywheel needs to come off, then you can get to those bolts. There is no sump gasket for these, sealant is what Fiat use themselves.

Thanks for the additional notes.
