Andy,

Can only suggest that you remove sump, and thoroughly clean its mating surface and that at bottom of engine.

Then check sump mating surface for flatness using a few sheets of 800 grit paper glued to mdf and lightly rub sump on it looking for telltale scratch marks.

Also check crankshaft oil seals, and try again.

Good luck

ATB

Simon
