as some of you might know i had one huge oil leak from the sump gasget..

well along with that i got a flat tyre commin out of the halls at maxlive

it all looked a little bit poop

then tomorow im going over to TopGear to get the tyre done (new one) as well as picking up 2 seats so that i can fully fit in the EDENZ seats i got as sponcership

nearly there.. just now need to sort out the new front bumper i have and get the handbrake fixed as well as the electric windows

then she will be back and biting hard

It's leaking more water than oil though at the moment. I'll worry about the oil a bit later on

Steve - how severe was the sump leak?

Was the sump oily with an occasional drip? Or was the underside of your car coated in a film of oil?

Dripping wasn't really the way to describe it. At Max Power live there was actually a puddle of oil underneath it.
