Cheers, will take it to a garage for the sump gasket i think, better safe than sorry. Done well though, iv had it 6 months, its got 111111 on the clock, iv done 11000 miles, never had one problem with it, not one, only failed the MOT on insecure headlights, and cv joint, quite proud of it lol | |

Rocker cover gasket will be about £6-8 not much, not sure on the sump gasket but cant see it being much tbh. | |

you can do the rocker cover yourslef... both gaskets wont be more than £10 each.. unless you know what your doin take it to a garage to get the sump gasket done as you may have to take part of/all of the exhaust off to do it:thumbs: | |

ive got a little leak as well on my 98 Corsa Sport 1.4. Seems to be only a small leak. When i bought the car it was bone dry so i put a litre of oil in and it seemed to go through it within about 3 weeks and on my road theres little little patches of oil. When I looked after stopppin a couple of drips really. | |

Both, but only slight leaking if you look under the bonnet | |

sorry i dont understand... if you open the bonnet and look in from the top can you see an oil leak from there or do you have to go under the car? | |

Yep, i cleaned it off the other day thought it might just be old crap on there, but oil does seem to be leaking out just from looking under the bonnet. What needs to be done to sort it, havnt got a clue??? Cheers | |
