Hi guys , i have a problem with my newly built 400 rep. I am running a c20xe engine with the 1800 sump & dip stick housing moved over from the gt/j 1800 manta.. my problem is i can,t seem to stop the oil leaking from the rear of the sump.. at first i thought it was from the oil seal at the rear of the crank so i removed the engine & replace the seal with a genuine part from vauxhall..
but the engine still leaks oil & it can only be from the sump, it seems to be in the rear right handside as you look in from on front of the car..there is a new sump gasket on the engine as well.... i am not running the windage tray ( i think thats what its called between the sump & the engine).Also i thought maybe the pipe that runs from the rocker cover to the sump might have been blocked & the engine couldn,t breath properly so it might force oil out of the seals , however this is not the case as the breather pipes are all clear. Surly someone else has come upon this problem before , is there anyone with a solution ?
Help much appriciated ...

Does anyone know where i can get a set of custom ignition leads made up?
want to get leads made up that will suit a manta b 1800cc distributor to a c20xe engine..

Have nearly finished my manta 400r... Its running a c20xe engine & now that its sitting back on its 4 wheels i would like to lower the
car 30mm to 40mm as it seems a bit high on standard suspension, Does anyone know where i can buy a set of lowering springs to suit the car?
Also what would the lbs of the front & rear springs need to be for a comfortable ride as the car is for road use ?..
