That wasn't as bad a job as i thought it would be ,and i was surprised that RTV was factory used . It is nice to see the Mini is getting good care as you put a lot of time into it .

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yeah really not too bad on this car!

[@phillloyd6356]

Same as I used on ours. Let it fully harden for 24 hours before adding any oil - no more leaks from ours since the RTV was used

[@GeorgeAusters]

Glad to hear!

[@alpinevicemotorsports1805]

There is a technical service bulletin for this car that states that the gasket must not be used, because the oil pan becomes deformed after removal. That's why it leaked. I'm about to replace mine using liquid sealant as well.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yep👍🏻

[@seanpaul3050]

I recommend using axle stands when working under the car. Those plastic ramps are not safe. I had one collapse under the weight of the car. Luckily, I was not under the car at the time.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Pretty sure these are rated to 3 tonnes per ramp.. They're not cheap chinese ones!

[@poppydogz]

I always use a light smear of RTV on any paper gaskets and never had a problem.. Let the attacks begin 😂

[@GeorgeAusters]

I can't see it hurting so why not!

[@ncscientist]

Same here, we will fight them all off lol.

[@Challenger380aak]

No matter how much RTV you put on the paper gasket, it still leak.

[@ncscientist]

@@Challenger380aak Still no leaks.

[@Challenger380aak]

I replaced 2 gaskets in one month and the second time the mechanic used one full tube of rtv.with paper gasket ,still weeping.

[@ademineshat]

You definitely need some kind of a car lifter. I'm very sorry to see you struggling like that 😢

[@GeorgeAusters]

That's the plan man.. Gotta save up for the garage first though!

[@FateIsSoul]

Thank you for sharing this how to! I was thinking of using a sealant along with a new gasket. Is that a good idea or better to just use sealant?

[@thatmini]

Love the MINI content 😎although i'm slightly biased 😂

[@GeorgeAusters]

Appreciate it!

[@sam33more94]

Please...what was the torque on the oil pam screws. Thank you. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@juli12345istRecorsi]

12 NM. He mentioned it in the video

[@eeroolli]

Nice job George! :)

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks!

[@reijung6898]

Nice video, thank you so much🙏🏻

[@GeorgeAusters]

You're welcome!

[@Minitia.R56]

I have just installed a gasket on the sump last week, this is bad news for me...

[@GeorgeAusters]

Noooo! Check for leaks and let me know how you get on👍🏻

[@Challenger380aak]

I have replaced 2 gaskets and both leak

[@fexil7567]

@@Challenger380aak Me too, the new gasket leak, so in the next change oil im going to do like that

[@mechanics4all405]

George,how can you get the plastic cap of corsa linkeage,been trying all day,what is underneath it can i cut the top off?

[@poetadelsilencio6421]

Will an oil pan leakage make the engine smoke???

[@Challenger380aak]

If the leak is over the flex pipe then , yes it will smoke. My car has this problem now. Ill be doing this DIY next week

[@joewestwood3474]

Would this be the same with an r50 ?

[@Challenger380aak]

Is this engine in 2012 Countryman. My oil pan is weeping even after replacing the gasket twice .

[@GeorgeAusters]

Did you watch the video?

[@Challenger380aak]

I did. I think my engine is the same as yours just like to confirm?

[@Challenger380aak]

Next week i will make the gasket like you have shown in the video. I spent $900 replacing gaskets. Its a shame, Mini engineers can never make their cars perfect.
