Thanks for rely. No oil weeping at location specified.....nor anywhere else for that matter. Engine and gearbox housing very clean below with the exception of the usual road dirt. Car has been pampered by previous owner and myself. Have organised local servicing independent to check out mountings anyway. Will keep u updated. I was in Nova Scotia twice in 1991. Stayed in Halifax and Yarmouth and saw quite a bit of the southern end of the province. Was doing business with Tri-star Industries in Yarmouth. Have very fond memories of the place. Thought that Halifax was excellent. Went out for a sail in the Blue Nose sailing boat. Tried some of the local dishes and at one time I thought I was going to turn into something from the sea. There is of course a great connection with Belfast, my birthplace, in the form of the RMS Titanic. Visited some of the graves in Halifax. My family from 1886 to the 1950s were involved with Harland and Wolfe, the yard that built the Titanic. My Great Grandfather was a Master Craftsman who worked on the ornate wood panels that went into the staterooms on the doomed liner. Very moving experience to visit the Titanic graves in the Halifax area.
