[TR] TR3A SU Damper oil leak

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Oh, and the Stromberg's used on the TR6 DO have an O-ring seal at the bottom.  If that O-ring deteriorates the oil will leak out.  The SU's are a different animal.

Alex,  my recollection of the TR3 SUs is that there is nowhere for oil to go.
One way one might suspect a leak is if the damper is overfilled... then the excess will work out and the level go down.

Quick question…. I am losing damper oil which appears to be showing up at the bottom of the Jet assy. Looking at the Moss catalog diagram of the su for a TR3..there is a part named seal cork with a replacement called 0-ring (leak free replacement. Could this be the cause of my leak…open to any and all suggestions. Also…would the lack of adequate oil in the damper cause the engine to sputter and backfire?
