[Healeys] Escaping air!!

[Carlos Cruz]

Paul,
   
  I think I figured your problem out.  If you're claiming "no fluid leaks" - then you're obviously not in a Healey or other British car for that matter.  Get out of whatever you're sitting in and go start the Healey and see if you get the same sound.
   
  Cheers...
