Ph1 172 oil leak

[melvin1993]

hi every one


when i bought my ph1 there as a slight leak of engine oil barely noticed and it never used any so didn't think much about it really, but lately its becoming worse and worse


when you look in from the bonnet and have the inlets off the block is dry so i don't think its coming from anything top end but once you look below the filter/sump area its all sticky and oily. my thought was that maybe the sump gasket is on its last legs? has any one had the same problem in the past?
i took some photos not the best but its awkward to get into




sump

upto bonnet

in from bumper

thanks Dan, bought the gasket and im in the prosses of fitting and, once i cleaned the sump and left it for a while there was a fresh bit of oil appeared on the top right of youre looking up at the sump

then when i was looking up the oil seems to be on the side of the block and pullys

then the sump at that side

any info would be brilliant!
