Any idea what is the cause of the oil leak?
Had a new (reconditioned) engine in 2018, which was then reconditioned again 23 months later, then ever since you've had an oil leak at every mot?
Do you know if a closed deck block was used when you had the new engine?
Any pics of the steering wheel without the cover? Does it just need retrimming due to age?
Do you have any of the original parts that have been swapped out (rear lights, gear nob, etc.)?
Cheers!!

I have no idea what the cause of the oil leak is, never followed it up as it was so slight and of no real issue to me as I was beginning to scale down the mileage by not using her as much for work. I do not know if a closed deck block was used when the engine was rebuilt.
The steering wheel is in good condition, the only reason I put the cover on (which seems to have caused quite a stir) was for personal preference because I like a thicker grip on the wheel as it feels quite thin without one and also to help the leather remain in the good condition that it has. I have since taken it off anyhow as I apparently I have 'poor taste!'
I have the original gear knob which is shown in the photo section and it was to come with the car anyway, although I shall probably put it back on the gearstick as people are making an issue of it.
The rear lights were stored in my fathers unit but when he passed a while ago, somehow they were thrown out with a lot of his other stuff unfortunately, otherwise they would have been placed in the boot as part of the sale alongside the part that the BOV has replaced.
