I have just bought a Seconed Hand Vax Cavalier. I didnt notice the oil leak it had. On further Inspection I put it up on Ramps and found there was a Bolt missing from the OilSump, it seems to have been broken off as I put a small screwdriver in the hole only to find the hole blocked, probably with the threads of the bolt . Is there any way I can get it to stop leaking oil without getting the threads drilled out.Regards Richard.

the only way to seal this without drilling is to remove the sump and replace the gasket and add silicone sealer all the way around .. to seal the leak !!
