Hairline crack under the sump-plug thread!
It's a new one on me!

Always had drips from here - and new copper washers, and even a dowty seal didn't cure it. Seems so obvious why now! *laughing*

Is that the moly slip crack dye?

If so, what consistancy does your red come out.... mines thin and bloody runs all over the place!

molyslip crack dye?


It's just regular 3-step industrial dye-penetrant. (solvent/degreaser; dye; developer).

I've never seen that before either! Still, 5mins with the TIG welder would easily repair it.

I had exactly the same crack on my first mini. It never got any bigger just leaked alloy. I got round to welding it up after about a year and it never leaked again
