[Healeys] Smell

[robertduquette at sympatico.ca]

Well, I'm not doing too badly then.  It's definately leaking from the front,
but not down the sides.  Of course from there it blows back ... perhaps.  It
doesn't appear to be a big leak.  The gearbox/OD does appear to be leaking
from the low points.  If it's the drain plugs, the best cure is ...?



Thanks!
