Guest steelcabby Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 from the sump gasket? try what i said on fitting it mate. or is it coming from the oil pump seal, if so are you using the metal gasket of paper corkey one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Paul Posted June 7, 2008 Author Admin Share Posted June 7, 2008 looks like its coming from the sump and running around and dripping down by the bottom pully. Will drop it off in the week and change it. Will try the superglue trick mate i have read this somewhere before. Â Are genuine ford gaskets any better than patten ones for this?
