Right now I have 3 LBC's none of which are drivable.
I was going out to work on the B this morning when I glanced under the Midget and saw a wet patch on the road.
Popped the hood & found water leaking from the bottom of the water pump. We took it out on an MG club run yesterday - I noticed there wasn't any heat coming out from the heater but thought it was just cold out so no biggie & the water temp never rose above 180F.
Called NAPA and ordered a new pump, will be here tomorrow they say.
The B had leaked several quarts of oil the last time my wife took it out so its been grounded since, waiting for me to take a look at it.
The leak as it turns out was due to the small hose going to the oil pressure sensor. I removed it and took it in to NAPA but they couldn't come up with a replacement and said I should bring in the fixture it hooks up to or the piece off the block where it connects.
I go back home and take the piece off the side of the block and decided to go across the street to True Value and see if they had anything. They did have a plug, so I got that and some tape to seal the threads. The thought was I could plug the hole until I could find the right thing for the job.
So I plugged it up and then got in to drive it out to NAPA...
NO CLUTCH!!!
:eeek: 
I have been having to add a little fluid to the clutch master for the past few months, but today it was low again and the pedal goes right to the floor.
Where is all the fluid going?? It's not around the master or dripping through to the drivers side floor, so where is it.
I jacked up the car and looked at the slave. The rubber seal on the end looks a bit bulgy and everything is drenched with oil, so much so that I can't tell if any brake fluid has been escaping.
I'd bet on it being a slave cylinder problem at this point, but it's pretty hard to tell.
All in all not such a great LBC day here.
