"Oh pooh"
Was the thought that went through my mind earlier as I put the Disco up on the ramps to do the sedimentor. I noticed a large patch of oil on the floor, nowt strange there you might say.
But this is the biggest patch from our car we've seen yet and it only took a couple of hours to form
Looking at the vertical front of the sump is like looking at paint where rust is forming underneath
I've noticed it before but just thought it was a collection of crap covered in oil but now it seems that this is where it is seeping from
Could this be as simple as just swapping the sump out, it seems easy enough, a fair few bolts holding it up, take them out and remove then put new one in it's place??
I've looked at the book of Haynes and that says you can remove the sump but need to lift the car using the chasis as the wheels and steering bars need to drop with the suspension enough to pull the sump out.
