I have a 2002 Toyota Landcruiser 3.0 D4D - dont know any other model details to describe it but looking at photos I thing she must be a 90 series. Anyway, as per title, the sump is leaking oil. I have never had the car off road and the sump has never been damaged but its rusted through at a joint seam. The reason in my opinion - the sump had a neatly fitted foam clad (between the cover and the base of the sump) protective cover - the foam gets saturated with dirty road water and sits there rusting the sump.
Really annoying problem because its an excellent jeep in every other way with only 110k on the clock - easily another 10 years in the vehicle. But the sump seems a bugger to get at and Ive been quoted between £1500 & £2000 for supply and fit.
Anybody tackle this themselves? If so, did you take engine out or attach from the bottom? Any idea where I'd get a good secondhand sump & if so how much would I expect to pay? Any advice appreciated.
PS Anyone else had this problem cos the dealers seem to say Im the only one in the world that this has happened to!
