No man!!!
Maak 'n plan! You cant not go on the Barberton trip!
If the plug is tight enough to not fall out and just leaking slightly just seal it with a good blob of silicon. Take a packet of metal glue, what do you call it again? I have a packet always in my car in any case to fix cracked sumps, if it all falls apart on the trip and just seal it up properly then and there in a few minutes. Maybe just take some spare oil with.
If you are worried to do the trip alone just give me a PM and we travel together.

CATS, ek wil baie graag, maar ek is bang die probleem veroorsaak groter, duurder issues as ek nou die naweek n 1000km afle.
Pratley putty....Is that the stuff you're talking about? What about afterwords? Will this not damage/mess up the sump to such an extend that I need to replace the sump? I don't think the sump plug will just fall out, but there can be some serious vibrations that could eventually vibrate the plug out....this and what will happen when the oil gets hot is my biggest concern.

Pratley steel putty yes. Thats the stuff. Not sure how tough it is to remove 9nce set, so probably not wise to use as a temporary fix unless it is an emergency.
I understand
Sterkte man. Skree as daar iets is wat one mee kan help.

But thanx for the tip...think it's a good item to take on a trip. Could fix a few problems with pratley putty.
Pajero is booked for Monday to get rear transfer seal replaced, sump plug fixed, think I should get all things checked while they busy underneath the car and replace all things that get old.
