A few month back my m reg zx6r sprung a leak. Oil was coming from the very bottom of the engine. My cousin found the problem. It was a small cork like shaped bit of metal. He just hammered it back in. Hit a very very large pot hole today up at Darlington and the leak is back. Is this a common problem and are we fixing it wrong. Can't see any other way. And what is that bit of metal actually called?  . |

It's not the sump plug. It's a small bit af alloy about the size of a thimble.

Sounds as though it's an engine core plug has finally let go.
Easy to source and replace
