Jyotsana, can you try and see if it can be re-threaded?

You will have to replace the oil pan at the bottom of the engine. The bolt screws into that. Re-threading can also be tried after you open the oil pan but is not advisable.

the mechanic has put a thread around the bold and the seepage has stopped completely...he says no need to worry nw as the the it il not leak and bold is perfectly tight not freeness when it is screwd.

its a temprary solution it will give u problem on next serivce.... a simple sultion is make a new bolt a lil fat then the old one..

ya have got that done. a bigger bolt....no leakage nw....will this sustain or il have to shell out 12000 rs

i think u can do this atleast 2 to 3 times if needed and if again u had this problem u can get the chamber whole welded and then it can do with a smaller bolt its a difficult and long process but cheaper...
