I have small leak from sump gasket.
My car is on jack stands, radiator support bar is off the car. I am ready to drop sump.
Some questions. There seems to be lower engine support in sump if i saw correctly. Do i have to support engine from top engine bay (top) before i remove sump?
I have original rubber type gasket in my garage already, is that good to use?
Is there any sense to check conrod bearings / replace bolts? Mileage: 110.000kilometres.
I will take my dirty sump to machine shop for parts washer.

Any other tips? @Foxspeed

No need to support the engine, it's held it place by the two main mounts, engine and gearbox and the rotation link a the top too.

Have a look at the following information regarding torquing the bolts in the correct order.

Replace the rubber gasket.
