Technical Seicento Sump leak

[Lez]

Lets say a new sump has been fitted and it has been done correctly. Is there any other reason why it should leak from the flywheel end? For example faulty sump or there is more than one sump for the 52 1.1SX and the wrong one will leak?

Faulty fitting I think, but is the oil leak from the sump? Other likely candidates are oil dripping down from the rocker cover or the crankshaft oil seal.

Checked Rocker cover, oil tight. As for crank seal, not sure but its not a drip its a full blown leak that has undersealed the car. Leak started with replacement of rusting leaking sump. Weather became too bad to do it again so gave to dealer. I suspect they steam cleaned and tightened it up more.
