Luckily, I had to back out of the garage and walk over to open the gate. So at least I spotted the leak before I drove off. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Years ago, in my student days, a fellow Healey owner….. He had a girlfriend whose father was less permissive than she was. He, cunningly (he thought) parked his car at the crest of their drive so he could freewheel down the slight gradient until he was away from the house. So, come the dawn, he sneaks downstairs and does exactly that. But the drive had an electronically controlled gate with a kind of knuckle thing in the centre of the tarmac against which the gates would locate. This thing somehow knocked his sump nut off. He switched on, drove off, ran it dry and wrecked the engine.
