Hi guys,

Today i was looking at mu ndercarriage when i realised that my oil sump was leaking a few drops of oil. Is this normal or what should I do?

Oil leaks are not normal. I would pull it off and the housing. There is a graphite gasket under the main housing along with a radius seal. These both should be replaced. Also check the fittings and lines.

Stephen,
thanks for your replies really.
The fittings and lines are all ok. Got them all replaced during my last rebuilt.
So I should replace the graphite gasket and the radius seal correct? Is there anything else to replace?
