Try abit sealent mate, maybe when you have dropped the engine it's not lined up properly, make sure the engine bolts on the left and right are in the right position meaning the washer marks like up, the engine might be I bit off mate

It was nice to meat you, 3 days in a row lol, I'll be back down in the school summer holidays so we can catch up again.
