Oil Pan leak and snapped gearbox fill plug...(and srs light) |
|
Well it seems that Ol Yog#2 just likes to keep me busy...
did a Oil change 10/9/18 with all bits purchased from AF of course
that went as smoooooth as smooth could be..
but sump was moist but not wet, a small scab on back of sump seems to be cause,
easy enough to change sump by looks, but seeing as its now full of fresh oil, i will wait until march to replace when its due its 6 oil change.
Question: is there a temporary fix i can slap on to keep the weep at bay.?
with recent events regarding the reattachment of breather pipe, i proceeded to check the gearbox level and top up..
but the monkey who did the fluid change before I purchased Yog#2 decided to overtighten the fill plug and leave the head fractured/hanging off..thus as soon as i loosened, it blooming fell to bits, leaving just the threaded part in the side of the box, luckily with enough hole for the allen key bit to undo it fully and extract..
not a problem i thought, as I have two spares in my kit, from previous Yog..
shame it was an auto and the threads are totally wrong size.
dammit
so ordered one on mega quick delivery (should be here 12/9)from AF
but need to get to work in mean time
so coated old 'stud' bit with threadlock and wound it back in, no leaks
work is 5 mile away, and made it there, not a drop lost
oh yeah
and SRS light is........
still not fixed ffs
