3.2.5 Base sump and covers
The engine base oil sump is a structural part of the engine with mechanic functions, which is
used to hold the engine lubricating oil.
It is made of stamped sheet metal and includes the threaded hole with cap for engine oil drain.
Sealing with the engine base is achieved by means of a bead of silicone sealant.
A bulkhead is put between the engine base and the oil sump, which prevents the engine oil
from being shaken off (due to the vehicle and drive shaft motion) and also ensures that the
level remains constant.
