More fun from my brother-in-law....
There is an allied product that is the oil detection gasket. It assures
that there is always a drip on the driveway to indicate that regardless of
what mechanical problem you just fixed, there is still an oil stain. This
was standard equipment on Triumph, MG, and Morris products. Morgan improved
the system to include protection of the transmission. So fixing the
transmission made the front seal of the engine leak. Fixing the front seal
made the rear seal leak. Fixing the rear seal showed up in the
differential. Jaguar improved on it with a version that would only leak
through the rear seal, just prior to blowing the engine. It was kind of an
early warning system.
