I bought recently, did my research and to be honest, I concluded before starting to look, that an oil weep would almost be inevitable It is and is symptomatic of nothing more than you bought a Boxster..... or a British motorcycle.

Berni29 Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Hi Or a Lotus. They used to say if there is oil in the engine then there is oil on the engine. Unless you have a very easy budget then it helps (a lot) to be handy with a spanner. if not then keep away from old Porsches. x3 for Ferraris.

Berni I believe Chapman also said of the Lotus twin cam engine, how do you know it is being lubricated if it isn't using oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
