Today will be the 5th time i have tried to seal my auto gearbox sump pan in the same amount of weeks.
After changing the oil/filter and thoroughly cleaning the box i line the sump pan edge with sealant, set in the new gasket and sealed the top of the gasket with sealant and refitted the pan to the box. After a couple of days i noticed an oil drip on the ground. Yup, it was weeping from the gearbox sump pan. I have now repeated this operation 3 times without success so i purchased a brand new sump pan from MB thinking that the original may have had some distortion. STILL leaking, so today will be my 5th attempt if this fails then i just will not know what to do.
Am i doing something wrong?
I am using gasket sealant, is this right?
Heeeeeeeeeeelp.
