Not a drop - over 2 years now !!

[DeeJay]

I feel I should share with you a remarkable achievement..

My County has been in my garage for over 2 years now and the floor is

untouched by oil


I think I'll have a few beers to celebrate:D

[It'sNotWorthComplaining!]

That's a sure sign that there is a need to check it to see if any oil remains , it could be that it has run out.:p:p:p:p:p:p:p
only kidding

i suspect that it may have something to do with a car sized drip tray or a LOT of thick carpet!

I need a trained mouse with a tiny frypan to run around & catch the drops under my wife's Disco.:cool:

Acid washed cement, then painted with a sealer so oil just washes off when cleaning...

hehe - see now one can believe your ahcievement! Mind you, my bros 1996 tdi doesnt drip oil in the driveway either.

I think you should get your car checked. Something isn't right here.

Mind you, my bros 1996 tdi doesnt drip oil in the driveway either.either because it's not parked in the driveway, or because a constant flow cant be called a drip?

These things happen when you remove rover components and fit other manufacturers:D

It must be an Isuzu thing :) mine shares the same problem :D

Japanese thing AFAIC. I'd confidently park our 24 year old Kubota on the carpet in BHP's boardroom:D

[Rangier Rover]

Yup.. Only leak my Zuzu has ever had so far is the seal between the alternator and vane pump. Thought it had done a pinion seal a wile back but turned out to be the breather not breathing so well.:) Still have the new seal and flange in my spares.;)

[wovenrovings]

You had better check the chassis, make sure it isn't going rusty.

and mine

my disco does the same thing when i drain the oil out of it :D:wasntme:

My 1980 Triumph Bonneville has never been a bad leaker (5c piece after a ride then stops) but since a I had a major service (and I do mean major) there has not been a single drop.

My Defender however, not while not being too bad, doe like to drop a bit here and there.

[DeeJay]

Dunno about the Isuzu yet, I only bought it in June but the engine has'nt dropped any oil. The front left brake cyl decided to spring a leak recently & its only been sitting there !!.
Its the Chev County thats still to drop any oil. Fred Smith did most of the rebuild & its even got teflon coated swivel housings:eek:
