smithie 2,443 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) its common but just drain the oil then remove it and have a plate welder over the leek.. everybody knows a welder im sure you can have if patched up for a tenner.. and you get your oil change done at the same time..

neil82 1,074 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 pretty common on nissans, for some reason the 1400cc engine seems to be the worst, if caught before they started to leak we used to coat the rusty area with a layer of JB quick, bit like a rapid curing araldite glue, they`d last for years with that, if you remove it to have it plated just use rtv to stick it back on but clean the mating areas with brake cleaner before applying the sealant (and don`t use too much, think in the books its only something like a 3-4 mm bead all round) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
