fitting a new sump gasket is an absolute Bia-tch have to make sure you get rid of every last bit of silicone that is in the recess and along the surface (electrical switch cleaner works well) Mike recommended i only put a thin layer of silicone one one side of the gasket (at the ends - the U shaped bits) because if you put it on both sides the pressure foces the gasket out. As yet no oil leaks since.
