Wet Sump??

A wet sump is an oil management lubercation design for a 4 stoke engine. It's a 'wet' sump design because it uses a built in reservior for the oil. The oil lubercates the engine by gravity and is collected at the base with a pan, then is pumped back to the top of the engine. This design is usually used under high G's because of the usage of gravity.
