Hello
I have a seat Leon mk2 2010 facelift and recently had the sump pan thread repaired. The problem I am having is that the oil is now leaking slightly from the sump plug. I am assuming it could be the washer. I took it back to the garage that carried out the sump pan thread repair and they stated that it is the washer that is at fault. I have now taken it back to the garage three times and they keep stating it is the washer.
I was hoping to fix this issue myself by either installing a sump plug that has a washer already attached on it one that you cannot remove. This is option 1
Before doing this I was thinking of changing the washer that is on the current sump plug to a copper wash or a different aluminium washer. I have a aluminium sump pan
Please could someone help with this, what would be the best cause of action. And if you could also tell me if you have faced this problem and how to fix it. Much appreciated
