stone leaking chips sump

Leaking sump / stone chips
#1
My 2012 GTC 1.4t sump gasket looks like it’s on the way out, it’s starting to weep. It that a common problem? Got 75000miles on the clock.

Anyone else have a horrendous amount of stone chips? I do. Bonnet especially and serious road rash! Possibly a piss poor factory paint job! Don’t think much paint went on it!

Yeah, looks like they seriously scrimped on power red anyway. I bought some mudflaps but I’m way to late, haven’t fitted them yet. You got mudflaps on yours? If not I would suggest it.

The paint on the Vauxhall's is very poor it's been a major complaint.

There are quite which have had a full respray under warranty.

As to the seal it's not a common thing that I know off but its one of the joys of owning a car.
