Yep, one day as we pulled into the garage my son Riley said "the TR4 is
leaking oil." I said something like "no joke" since, well, it *is* a
British car. He said "no, it's really leaking." There was a stripe of
oil leading up the driveway. The next day I followed the stripe 1 1/2
miles toward the grocery store. It was a very small leak about 2" from
the engine-end of the line, but still in 1 1/2 miles we were already two
quarts low.
40+ years is a pretty good service life, but I think that hose should be
a routine replacement for any restoration project.
