What have you done today with your Austin Seven
This evening I removed the sump on my pearl, and discovered that it had a good coating of sludge within it. The car has recently had a bad oil leak, which I have narrowed down to the finger tight valve chest or the rather loose dynamo housing.

The concern I have is the sludge, my temptation is to while the sump is off give all the oil jets a clean out with brake/carb cleaner before I reassemble along with the oil pump.

The car has always had a good oil pressure but my concern now is this because its been full of sludge?
