My car doesn't leak much...it might leave a few small drops when parked, but under pressure and at speed a leak is more evident, collects on the underside of the car or is left on the track.</div><div>Yes, the diaper is flammable. Especially when soaked with oil. I was curious enough to test how flammable, of course after removing it.</div><div>Perhaps a more catastrophic failure could lead to it's ignition, but I highly doubt it will ignite spontaneously . </div><div>Until the engine is removed for an overhaul, this seems to be a reasonable, if temporary solution. </div><div>Again, if just for shits and grins, I thought I'd share this idea. I was thinking more for grins.</div><div>BTW, I recently completed my 12th event. The Rolex Reunion at Laguna Seca. I am very proud to say that my TR3 has completed every lap of every session of all 12 events, without any tear downs or rebuilds. Just basic service and maintenance.
