Gearbox sump leaking

Post by lordgrover » Tue Mar 07, 2017 12:39 pm

I have a minor leak from the gearbox sump. I understand this is a 'feature' of the plastic sump expanding and contracting at a different rate to the alloy to which it's attached. It was replaced 18 months (9,000 miles) ago.
Is there any trick to resolving this properly or just stump up for another plastic sump and hope it lasts longer?
