drain the oil and take the football off the bottom of the engine (oil
sump) and have a look up inside using a thousand candle power
spotlight. you can see it all before you.
you just need to have a new gasket available for the sump to engine
joint.

as to the question. havent experienced it with my O-200 but with the
spotlight and an inspection mirror you should be able to confirm the
suspicion or put your mind at ease.

Low oil pressure in a small Continental is usually due either
to worn bearings, a worn oil pump, a loose oil pump cover, or a
sticking oil pressure relief valve and maybe a broken relief valve
spring. I'd take the accessory cover off first (while that oil tank is
off) and check out the pump. The relief valve is under a brass acorn-
headed plug on the RH side of the accessory case.

It is that I read in overhaul manual...
Just some fear about crankcase crack. I will open the engine soon but,
to day, some shortage for new parts (lifters).
