Technical leaky sump from gasket

[PuntoHowTo]

I must admit i'm a little confused, i didn't use 'Gunk' which is a cleaning agent, i used Jenolite which is a rust convertor (basically a type of phosphoric acid which converts Iron oxide to iron phosphate, it leaves the surface black with white powdery deposits.

You appear to have used just a cleaner which will leave a residue all over the area cleaned the metal looks good so id say you've caught it well in time but you'll still need either something to treat the surface for rust like jenolite then give it a good clean, or carb cleaner to get rig of the residues of gunk and then an oxide primer

if not done properly you'll be wasting your time the paint won't stick and the metal will carry on corroding

I only brought gunk to clean the oil off to see where the leak was coming from, which I'm certain it's coming from the oil filter

I have some jenolite on the way to do it the exact same way as you did

@a and b I meant no disrespect by not going for your idea and saying that gunk worked just fine, it's what was easier for me so I brought it :/
