   My saxo vts mk2 51 plate is leaking oill..
   
   it was leaking from oil filter so fitted a new one but its still leaking on the drivers side edge of the sump..
   
   I think its leaking straight out the corner of the sump.. Are they sump gaskets or do i simply use sealent? cant find a sump gasket online ..

   I think you can get gaskets but most people just use sealant.

   Degrease your engine then warm it up,then you`ll see for sure where the oil is coming from.
