Dont think Bertie was too impressed with his red nose!!

He decided he was going to carry on leaking oil all night!!!

Sams gonna pull the engine out to sort it.

Hopefully be at the next meet but not promising!

its leaking in the same spot dude that corner but dont know if i pull the motor out atleast i can have a better look then. but cant afford to do the pushrod tubes

It seems Bertie has decided to compete with Bob in the oil leaking stakes, I think you may actually have a worse leak that me!
