Re: [doc] Oil leak, ideas and inspiration!!



Hi Chris,

from what you describe, it sounds like your car is leaking from the
same place that Flopsy is - which I think is one of the oil seals -
Martin?  Flopsy doesnt lose a huge amount of oil (just an annoying few
drips after being driven), but I always check the level and top up if
necessary just to be on the safe side.  I've had a new oil pressure
switch fitted, but it is possible I might need an oil pump too :-(  Ho
hum, another winter job to add to the list!!

I'm really tempted to take Flopsy out tomorrow for a run (no snow
here!) as the tax runs out on Wednesday. *boo hoo*  I need to get just
one more DeLorean driving fix in for this year!!

Any news on you and Suzies imminent new arrival Chris? :-)
