Seicento sump leak eek

[petercat]

had a small oil leak on my seicento, went to drop the oil and the bottom has fallen out of the $%^^^%$ sump

 

[petercat]

up date, just been to B&Q and got a tube of silicone sealant made a patch fror the sump from a biscuit tin and pop riveted it in place will leave till tomorrow to set then put the oil back in, fingers crossed it will hold till i get a new sump or second hand engine.

It will leak stright away soon as the Oil gets hot the sealant will die.and just **** out all your oil . buy a new sump, the best and easyest option

use some liquid metal or something. If you bodge it bodge it proper haha.

But if you sump sealant (RTV) you might be ok, they dry in a rubbery texture

Only 1 way to repair a sump is to have it off and
A - weld it after been washed well and truly

Or

b - by far the easiest option, replace!
