if you're lucky you came down flat on the sump pan and compressed the sump gasket a little.


if that's the case you might get away with tightening the bolts a little!


Worst case you came down on an angle, in which case you might have to replace the sump pan %26amp; gasket.


it's worth trying to use two gaskets With a thin bead of gasket sealant between all surfaces before going down that route!
