    Got a good leak from th sump when fitting new things to car. Tried Wynns engine leak solution but will that

    1. Work
    2. Hold up till full service in half a year?

    Can do service now but little short on time...

    And I reused a washer , so I deserve some stick!

    Which side shall I Jack up to tilt th oil out? Or do I not need ? I guess it's easy but then comes the oil ...will the Wynns hold up till summer you reckon?

    either side, you could do it without a jack if you could get underneath. If its got an oil leak, and you've expressed an intention to track the car, then bang a new washer on as it only takes minutes - you dont want to be leaking oil on track nor relying on wynns to stop it as frankly it wont stop it

    Sweet, cheers for the kind reminder! Should I splash out on good oil?

    10w40 semi synthetic is good enough, and a decent filter.
    I stocked up on Castrol GTX over the summer as it was cheap but there are other brands
