Hi,
Just wondering if it is common for the oil sump gasket to need changing? I appear to have a minor leak... although I'm finding that it is covering the gearbox in oil also. (It's not the gearbox leaking as it's brown instead of red)
I'm going to check the bolts are all tight, as I've noticed this was a common issue on the M30.
If I do need to change it, is it easy or is it like the M30 and a pain in the rear? From last time I was under, looks like it'd get caught on a few things unless I lift the engine?!
On another note, it also never seems to show as full on the dipstick... yet the light doesn't come on for oil pressure. I checked it the other day and it was below the min line, apart from 2 thin lines up each side of the dipstick that reached the max. I've topped it up by half a litre for now, but this has happened in the past (stupid oil leak) and even when I put what should be enough to fill it, still seems to show low. Now I'm worried the dipstick isn't showing correctly and don't want to overfill.
Thanks
