I have a 1990 1000cc Panda with the FIRE engine which has a oil leak from the rear flange of the sump. Can any body tell me if this is a routine gasket/sealant exercise with engine in situ or is it something more sinister!

I'm pretty sure you can get them off with the engine in.

But.

If they're anything like the Punto one, there's no gasket, Fiat use a horrid black goo that sticks the sump on like the proverbial elastoplast Y fronts.

Good luck getting it off...

Corect mr.m.dawg ! No gaskets just goooooooo ! (but not like in a cream egg) black stuff, very sticky - yuck.
