What does the oil sump gasket do?

- The vehicles will be raised to allow access underneath.
- Mechanic will inspect the oil sump and the gasket.
- The engine oil will be drained.
- The oil sump pan will be removed.
- The surfaces of the components will be cleaned.
- A new sump gasket will be fitted or in some cases, new sealant will be applied.
- Mechanic will advise if any other parts need to be replaced.
- Mechanic will run the engine and check for any leaks.

If there is only a very small, damp oil area around the gasket, it may just need tightening down. However, anything more than that requires the oil sump gasket to be replaced, and this should be done as soon as possible as it will only get worse.
How common is an oil sump gasket replacement?
As every car pretty much has one and it is subject to expansion and contraction as the engine goes from cold to hot and back again, one of the most common causes of engine oil leaks is the oil sump.
Can you drive with a leaking oil pan gasket?
If you suspect there is any issue with your vehicle's engine oil pan gasket or there are concerns about its age or condition, book an inspection with a professional mechanic as soon as possible. Driving the vehicle may lead to further complications and engine damage.
Is a bad oil sump gasket an MOT failure?
The oil sump gasket is not usually part of the MOT test so it shouldn't result in an MOT failure. However, if the oil sump gasket is causing a severe oil leak, it could result in an MOT failure.
How much does an oil sump gasket replacement cost?
Cost for an oil sump gasket replacement is on average £200, with prices ranging from £130 to £300.
