Def a sump gasket, changed mine last year, had to get the grinder on the sump to remove the remains of the gasket. i also used a broken sharpening stone to get a really flat clean surface on the engine block, and then loads of silicone.

For fool sake don't use a grinder a sharp Stanley blade or decent bladed scraper

did try the blade options, didnt touch it tho, grinder was a last resort with a pad not a disc!

Flywheel housing gasket was a bitch on mine. Ended up using a rigid blunt scraper as a chisel and a small hammer to chip it off. I thought the sump didn't have a gasket?

Not sure what engine yours is, must have left my anoraks hat somewhere else! But on the 300tdi wolf engines at work they have no gasket we use loctite 5990 sealant brilliant stuff that we use for absolutely everything!
