2.5 n/a sump gasket leaking

I've just brought an ex mod 90 2.5 n/a and now I have a leaky sump gasket. It's only done a 1000km on the oil. Is it a hard job changing the gasket and can I re use the oil?

any advice is more than welcome. Cheers guys

It's not a difficult job to drop the sump and change the gasket.

Just remember where the short screws go!

Make sure that both faces are clean and free of oil, and being an old git, I would go for the cork gasket. Smear it with clean oil before fitting it, and you shouldn't have any problems.

When tightening it up start in the middle and work your way opposite and round, if you know what I mean, and then nip them all up again in the same sequence.

I would not recommend using the old oil.

Try page in here. It's for the 2.5 petrol, but AFIK it's got the same sump.

And torque wrench settings are in book 1.

Thank you gentlemen, it's appreciated. I'll get new oil. Do you recommend any in particular?

Anything as long as it's mineral. I used AC Delco last time and all seems ok.
