Recommended sump sealant for the 1.2

[vexorg]

Got an advisory that the sump has rusted and oil is seeping through.
I can get a new sump off ebay, but there's no gasket, it's a sealant job.
None of the sumps I've seen come with sealant, so what's the recommended sealant for the sump?

Should be a gasket sealant probably something like an rtv sealant and preferably compatible with high heat and oil since its the sump?
Cannot recommend one as I've not changed mine yet but you will Likley only need a small tube since the sump is not a very large area to cover.

I would have thought someone must have changed it in the past,

Changing the sump, should be straight forward, I have changed one of my suzuki's but the process should go with out hitches if you take your time have sufficient access and clean the mating areas with a degreaser fluid. I would also change the nuts or bolts depending on model with new including washers. mate the sump upto the crankcase first to check all will fit smoothly, then remove, clean mating surfaces again and run a generous bead of sealant on the sump and mate this up to the crankcase and tighten the new nut/bolts. Try this sealant on the sump.
