Have now got myself a peugeot 405 estate. Upon looking underneath it there appears to be an oil leak. This has been traced to a crack in the sump.
So how easy are these to change and is there anything that can be done on a temporary basis to see if there are any other leaks as well?
Cheers

Shouldn't be too difficult to find another sump at a breaker's. If you have aircon, the compressor needs to be moved to one side. The sump bolts are not all the same length, so they need to go back where they came from. It would probably be best to 'gunk' the engine then run it for a few days. Then you'll see where any oil is leaking from.
