- Aw C'mon.... They all leak, right from the factory. A bigwig in the Brit Leyland Service organization I once knew explained that all their cars exhibit a degree of " Controlled Seepage" and that it w

- I like both those terms. Besides, with LBC's, it's somewhat expected, isn't it? Takes us back to the old saying that if your British car isn't leaking oil it's a worse sign than if it is leaking - be

- I've got a '67 Spitfire -- and I know this is a hotly debated topic -- but my own personal experience has led me to never jack up using the pumpkin if I can help it. I had a rear end that was tight a
