Purchased a 100 Six BN6 that had been restored (mechanically) by the previous owner and then left idle for over 15 years never being driven.
I rebuilt the carbs replaced the gas tank and fuel lines , new battery oil change/ filter and she stared right up running perfect,... oil pressure etc.
The rear diff was dry, and after filling I noticed diff fluid leaking from the left hub.... so now the fun begins.

welcome! sounds like a great project. Leaking hubs aren't that unusual (at least in MG world) one fix is not overfilling the diff. ask in the Healey forum and I am sure you will get answers.
 
Just do left turns that will keep the oil on the other side of the car KIDDING Fix before it gets to brake shoes Not a big job I do not know if axle has a keeper in the dif. or are splines all have same spacing. Your fall color is soon get it back on the road. Madflyer
 
Jack you will find we have a very active and engaging Austin Healey forum here so be sore to pop in there too and say hello. You'll get plenty of help and moral support!
