Check engine mounts, they sag and you know cause the clearance between back of sump and crossmember will be stuff all.

If the sump is coming off and out, I would clean the oil pick-up.

 

[BIG DYL]

ok cool ill do that

Before u do the sump degrease it and make sure there r no more oil leaks any where else.mite as well check ur gear box mount and gearbox pan gasket for leaks.

Also, once the sumps off, look for plastic that guides/adjusts the timing chain.
Any debris, metal filings...

Hopefully you won't see any of them, but if you do, that'l let you know what else needs doing
