 Subject: oil leak
 I'd told you earlier that I had oil drops on my left pant leg when I went =
for a drive to the Bershires. The on line consensus was a leak from where t=
he tubing from the engine brings the oil to the gauge. I pulled the driver'=
s seat and crawled in, my head by the gas pedal. There was oil on the back =
of the gauge. It proved impossible to get a wrench (spanner) on the nut so =
I unshackled the harness that secures the gauge in the dash and tried to pu=
sh it through into the cockpit but was only able to get it part way. throug=
h. Fearing I'd rupture the pipe bringing the oil to the gauge, I gave up an=
d took it to Competition Motors, folks who had proviously done work on the =
Healey. They called today to inform me that the oil was leaking from INSIDE=
 the gauge, and the entire gauge needed to be replaced. They could see oil =
in the gauge through its glass face.They found one on EBAy for $85. No one =
on the chat group had suggested this as a possibility. It's always somethin=
g with a Healey. But other than that, it rides like a dream......r =20
