Hi Martin.
Yeah, its only 1 or maybe two drips a week but that still needs doing.
The problem seems to rectify itself after a few minutes (usually), and almost certainly when im going downhill using the engine as a brake (Without applying throttle).
I only hope she doesnt start doing this on my way down (or back from) the BTTF meet in Basildon :^(
Weird one isnt it?
Paul.

Hi Paul
I'm not going to be a lot of help here because I'm going to tell you
what it isn't....
I'm sure someone might jump in and blame the transmission governor, but
this is designed to get stuck in 3rd if it fails AFAIK
The bit where the tranny meets the engine is the final drive and takes
regular gear oil. Probably just driveshaft seals weeping (v common after
24 years, but usually only a couple of drips a week!)
