[Healeys] OD Leak

[Healey Bruce]

I agree with Ron.  I parked my car over a clean surface, waited a couple of 
days, then used a plumb to estimate the area of the drip.  Sure enough, the 
OD actuator side cover plate.  I subsequently found out that a gasket is no 
longer made for this, so I used some Permatex.  Eliminated most of the 
problem.
