Nothing really comes to mind, but I suppose you could inspect a few 
things from a preventive maintenance standpoint...

trans rear seal
hand brake cable lube
rear spring shackles
rear shocks (leaking? bolts?)
rebound strap condition
rear brake hose condition
axle breather cap (is there one? I guess I don't know, but it should be 
checked for cleanliness, if so)
fuel line integrity
exposed wiring condition (particularly fuel sending unit wires could be 
chafed)
signs of leakage on brake backing plates

Better stop before I cover the whole Bentley's, but you get the idea... 
it seems every time I'm under there, I spot something.
