Corsa 1.4 sump-gasket question - happyvaux

Hi guys,
got a corsa 1.4 (vegas) which has a slight oil leak at sump bolt. It appears to be coming from the sump gasket and I can't see a leak from anywhere above this point. Also have a bit of emulsion (think air's getting in at the same place).
Is it possible to replace the sump-gasket without removing the exhaust? Is it worth trying to 'nip' up the sump bolts 1st, or can this make things worse?

thanks
Pete

Nothing to lose by trying to nip them up but dont groist them up with a girt big breaker bar or you will distort things. You will have to remove the exhaust.
