[Healeys] Grease dripping from top of steering column on BN2 non-adjustable

[John Harper]

Mike

Did you by any chance have the front of the car much higher than the 
back at any time during your journey.

It does not take much for the steering column to get at an angle where 
the box end is higher than the steering wheel. Oil in the box will then 
run back and may well end up in your lap or spoil your seat leather.
