Weren’t these oil pans glued on using silicone at factory assembly?

these don’t have sump gaskets factory, only sealant. You can make one from gasket paper that you can buy at any auto store, but id personally use a handmade gasket and some sealant.

Thanks all I have had the sump off today and replaced the sealant but still leaking, I have now done the crank seal and the sump is there any other place on the timing side of the motor which is prone to leaking or do I just burn it??

rare but did you check the oil pump? where it seals to the engine block?

Didn’t check that but looks like i will be pulling that out and looking, is it safe to use sealant on it as I can’t find a gasket

should be fine. I have used sealant in the past.
