Les Henson Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 A leak at a sump plug is either poor seal (copper washer), grit between the seal somewhere, or stripped thread. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Or as mine was, the fact that some numpty drilled and tapped the hole crooked when it was made, meaning that the plug didn't seal all the way around the mating face and it leaked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 why not buy another sump plug and sealing washer, remove old and replace before the oil drains out or change them when its next due a service. If its just been changed (oil that is) did they do them tight enough. Which one are you talking about anyway engine, auto box or T box?
