				draining oil sump for stud repair
			 
			
			Recently changed my engine oil only to find 2 sump studs are pulled and leaking.  If I remove the sump plate to make the repair to the studs how much oil will I lose.  Will the oil from the tank drain into the sump and continue to run out?  Should I just bite the bullet  and drain all the new oil and replace with new,  Thanks Jerry

			Buy a clean 5 gallon bucket at Homer D. Drain oil into it, fix stud, pour oil back in

Engine on (I've heard it distributes the oil more evenly) or off?
