SUMP

[tomparkes]

Looks like people were trying to help you mate, but you only gave them 24 hours!

When you did the oil change, did you not notice if it had a sensor then? I'm pretty sure its quite a hefty plastic part that sits on the underside of the sump, so should be quite easily noticeable - sits over where the big hole is in the picture on the eBay link you posted. If it turns out you don't have a sensor, you're going to have an even more leaky sump when you're done as you'll have nothing to plug the massive hole!

I'd say you got your answer from the lads below, anyway - go and have a look. If you don't have the car available to you, then there's not much else you can do. I'd have said be patient, have a look at the car when you can, maybe even check the part number on the existing sump and then match it up with the new part you want to buy. Tricky, ain't it?

Gotcha - I thought you'd done the oil change so wondered how you didn't spot it then!! Makes sense now

Hopefully it's the right one mate, otherwise you might be knackered! Did it say in the listing if it comes with a blanking plate, or was that the one without the sensor hole - I can't remember. Anyway hopefully it'll do the trick.

How bad's your leak anyway? My sump seeps slightly from the sump plug, but without getting a new sump or getting it repaired there's not much I can do - it's only a slight drip every now and again and it doesn't really affect my oil levels so I'm just gonna have to put up with an oil spot on the drive!
