I understand that, but being a mk4 section I thought people would have had experienced this before. As the mk4 golfs sumps may be quite weak. Just like I found out that the mk4 golf have common problems with leaks.

So when the sump is hit, there might be a certain section that is prone to splitting or similar.

most probably have but it would help if you looked at the sump for any damage before asking any1  :grin: :grin: the sump is not that big so you wont have to check much an if you have damaged it then this is probably why you have no oil pressure as there is no oil in it  :smiley: so get off your lazy arse go check

just run the engine till its really hot and all the offending oil has escaped. Then flush come ice cold water into the oil filler cap and look for the steam vent , this will definitely highlight the leak.........................................................  :evil:
