Vp oil leak

[nathanhrv]

Hey guys seems like my missus' VP is leaking from 2 spots under the car, 1: from the sump bolt and 2: possibly from the rear main seal i think its called (back of engine, start of trans).

Couple questions guys if i replace the sump bolt will this fix the first leak? Also where can i get this sump bolt and what size is it? And secondly are rear main seals a common oil leak for the VP's?

Thanks guys
Nathan

Rear main seals are very common to leak. I had a sump bolt leak on a VS that I fixed by getting a new bolt and the copper seal that goes around it from holden spare parts. It was about 25 bucks I think which I thought was a tad expensive

x2 bolts are free at the wreckers

I assumed they wouldnt give out a sump bolt because then they cant sell the engine so I didnt even try

would a VN or other models sump bolts fit? or just a VP bolt
thanks
