well the sump is off and low and behold there is this alloy plate at the back of the block! What is it? Does the rear main bearing get supported by it?
Now the oil leak could be coming from the seal of the alloy plate to the block - possibly meaning removing the whole engine - arrrrgh!!!! Or is this plate accessable after taking the bellhousing off?
I am sure the 3T-gt blocks are the same and there are quite a few of youz with them.
Got a new sump seal in the hope it was that - and yes the sump is being painted (yellow). It is a well know fact that painted sumps result in a performance increase
