As a newcomer to this forum, I have a lot of questions ... many probably dumb questions. But I'll ask nevertheless.
I know TR3s are notorious for leaking oil. Mine leaks, but perhaps not as much as most as I have had some new seals and gaskets installed recently. But leak, it does.
And the oil leaking falls on the headpipe of the exhaust system. Not much, but some. Question is: does this present a fire hazard as the headpipe is one of the hottest pipes in the exhaust system?
Frankly, I don't know how this can be avoided, but I thought I'd ask you veterans.
