Ask, why all they all rusty?

I told you that- no oil leaks (also modern eco friendly paints and the salt we put on the roads,)
Agree that suzuki use extra thin steel though.

Fords used to be the same, the sump rotted through on my escort, but luckily, there were hundreds with clapped out engines in the scrapyards, and I found one with an oily sump :cool:

I've an assortment of European cars, not one has an oil leak, various ages up to 20ish years old, including a Ford. None of the sumps are rusty.

It's unreasonable to attribute this to being Japanese -- Suzuki specifically, maybe.

IME Fords tend to be more rusty than Mitsubishis, Hondas or Toyotas at 10-15 years old, and about the same as Nissans or Mazdas. Similar for VW. French stuff tends to be better.

Fords of 25 years ago were horrendous -- but then most cars were.

To be fair, most rusty cars, of any make, made in the last 15 years or so can be attributed to living by the coast.

If sump is rusty it's usually because the car has been bottomed out, and the protection removed.

try looking on rockauto.com if you know your engine type

Thanks to everyone for the replies but i will just need to take car to garage as it has now developed a noise when clutch is pressed in
oil leak isnt that much of a problem but would have liked to have gotten it sorted,och well if its no one thing its another.
Thanks again

Sounds like your clutch bearing, they will probably fit a new clutch kit complete.


I'd be surprised if the sump is beyond repair-even if the garage don't want to do it, also any oil leaks maybe from elsewhere.

As Richard53 above suggests, i would remove the sump and get it plated, and thoroughly wire brushed then smeared in Castrol CL grease....which is superb stuff for brake pipes too.

The oil leak is definately coming from a hole in bottom of sump.We cleaned it so we could see where it was coming from.Only seems to be rusted on 1 half.
Did a bit of googling and thought it was the clutch bearing,appreciate the reply:)

Didnt even think of getting it plated,think this would be best option.Where would i take a sump to get plated?would a garage do it or is there somewhere else i would need to go?
Its my sons first car and he does a lot of motorway travelling so he wants to get everything that needs fixed done.
We always had manuals for our own cars so hubby did majority of repairs himself but cars seem more difficult to get into now and cant find a manual for the ignis.

I have been looking for a sump for a Grand Vitara for months, its leaking like a sieve, just patching the holes with JB weld. If you know which engine the car has, im sure you will find a new sump on rockauto for £100 to £150 delivered.
