A bit of advise please from maybe someone who has been through this.
I have a 02 plate micra 1.0L K11.
It had a rotten sump and oil was leaking slightly so I decided to buy another sump ( New ) and fitted it.
I lowered the exhaust front pipe along with the cradle so I could remove the pan.
Used black sealant and replaced the new sump. ( It leaked at the gearbox side after all that )
I removed it again and think this time I have the two sump rubber gaskets in place although the gearbox end one is a bit of a pig to keep in place. ( I have used liquid gasket to try and stick it in place )
I am now been told do not use liquid gasket on the two rubber gaskets.???
Re fitted it. Well its still leaking at the gearbox end far worse then it was before I began this job...LOL
Its leaking nice now and the oil blows along the under of the car and on the main exhaust.
I am now about to fully remove the crossmember and front pipe to get a direct lift in place and smother the rubber seals and the sump in gasket seal.
Am I missing something or is there a trick to fitting these ?
Any help here please, I am at my wits end.
