TR2/3/3A somthing's wrong.

I replaced the main seal with the super duper one from A.R.E. I took care at all the gaskets, seals, etc. Drove the TR this morning about 40 miles. Parked it in the garage and an hour later moved the car back and found NO OIL DRIPS!! Yes there is oil in the crankcase. What a good feeling that a Triumph can be made to not leak oil. Or maybe I just got lucky...........

Way to early to say that yet

Hopeful thinking........

Good thing you don't live in the rust-belt.

 

[Bruce100]

what are you planning to use now for rust proofing?

I had the same feeling...for two weeks.

Like I said
Way to early to be boasting

I thought leaking was a "feature".

 

[tinman58]

O.k. now I feel better.
There is a drip (small one) at the oil filter head.....
The main seal is still dry.

AH, The Force is right again

Your car can't be an alpha male. Any self-respecting TR would be "marking it's territory" with oil drips.
