I just back today from sunny Cyprus on a lovely week's holiday and was greeted by a rough/low oil sounding engine for the first second and then a nice "Engine oil level - visit workshop" message. I thought it might be a sensor, so I tentatively added small amounts of oil to see if the level might have been slightly low....I looked under the car and low and behold...oil was dripping out from the sump

I'll investigate it fully on Saturday morning. My main question is, if I rip off the sump, can I simply get the leaks welded, or would that not be advisable? If not I guess I'll just buy another sump.

Yes, it can be welded. Good luck.

Is it steel or aluminum?

Thanks guys, that's really good to know. Should be a fairly straightforward fix then, phew

Justin - it's an oem sump, whatever that's made of...

lol, I am curious what the oem sump is made out of... Never really looked into it, but you got me curious!
