The sump is connected to the engine with a sump gasket. It's visible if you look under your car. If you don't see a crack or leak, there's a good chance the sump gasket is leaking.
You can replace a broken sump yourself. This can be done with or without a jack, although it is easier with one. Keep in mind that this is a messy job. So be prepared with an oil drain pan, the right tools, and all the necessary parts such as the drain plug and sealing ring.
Buying a Sump
The correct sump is vehicle-specific. Therefore, enter your registration number to find the right parts. This way you can be sure that you will find the right dimensions.
Oil vapours and combustion gases form in the sump. These are harmful if they are released into the air without complete combustion. That's why it's important to also have a properly functioning crankcase ventilation system.
