The car has been running well since the last post and has seen quite a bit of use. None of the winter misfires, but warm (inside the car) with all the heat we've been having.
I've been noticing the usual engine oil leaks have been increasing, particularly on the belts end of the engine. Of course this is where it all happens, so I pulled the wheel arch liner and rear cambelt cover to have a better look. It could be the crankshaft seal which looks reasonably do-able and cheap from Superformance (image Copyright Superperformance) so watch this space for that job. I also climbed down into my pit to check the sump nuts and seal - all looked ok, although I hear that oil can run down the studs which hold the sump on, but simple nyloc or acorn nuts seem to solve that.
I noticed that the gear shift rod was rubbing on one of the coolant pipes, so I wrapped the pipe with a hose clip to protect it as it for now.
