Hi getting ready for EBi Cruz over in my notch few things are bothering me leaks i cannot seem to get rid of simply
did a 40 mile run out last night had a few spots of engine oil from the dip stick flange on the bottom and also a couple from the push rod tubes probably the size of a 10 p coin
The gear box was put back together professionally and has leaked ever since which concerns me more !!! i obviously will top these up before i leave do you think im worrying over nothing
interior wheres best place to get a Notch interior ??

Re: A few Questions Engine and interior
Its difficult to say, but owning a few older British motorcycles I take the view that at least it proves there's oil in there and when it stops leaking you worry!
It would be better to quantify the leak (i.e. miles / litre, hopefully not the other way round!) and carry enough to top up during your trip.
The dip stick tube flange is an easy fix once the oil is drained down, the push rods less so.
Where the drips are coming from isn't always where the leak is though as air passing under the car will blow the oil towards the back anyway.
