Hi guys

I have a corsa c 1.2 as a daily and has a leak, couple off months back I had a snapped spark plug resulting in pretty much a rebuild. Stupid I know but need the pennies. Anyway today noticed a oil leak cleaned everything that I could turns out it very small leak where the sump meets the gearbox. Do you this this will be ok or how do I fix it.

Thanks in advance
Shaun

No ones gona say any leak is ok but may be worth a spanner check of the bolts but just remove the sump clean it and re fit with new gasket

defo from the sump or is it Possably the crank oil seal ?

Cheers dgbnova. I tightened the bolts as had a bit of movements so I will have to remove, seal and refit. Thanks for you help

I'd watch it for a bit now if you got a bit of a turn on the bolts

park it over cardboard with a brick on it so it don't blow away then you can check if it's slowing down or stoping before you go changing it out
