I have a minor leak from the offside rear of my sump gasket.
Is there anyway of sealing this without removing the sump?

Hello Bruce, are you sure that the oil is coming from the sump, it could well be coming from the rear crankshaft seal, only by putting on a ramp and washed down can you be sure.

The dealer wants 4 1/2 hrs to change the gasket
