[TR4A engine oil leak - just purchased]

Thanks Roger. Puts my mind at rest as do the previous posts about TRBitz. They were very patient with me when I popped down and couldn’t have been more helpful. I’ve absolutely no experience of TRs having been a Morgan owner for some years and for a while an MGB owner. The Morgans were too new to leak oil!  

I’d always thought a TR3 would suit me, a little akin to a Morgan with the cutdown doors and Morgan did use the TR engine in its day. Just lacking a wood frame!  I was able to take out both a 3 and a 4 and both ride a lot better than my old Morgan Roadster....sliding pillars have a lot to answer for. The 4 won the day though! 

[TR4A engine oil leak - just purchased]

I’m new on here. Have just sold my Morgan and am looking at a TR4. Has a good look at it on a hoist and noticed some oil drips along edge of sump and some at rear of engine by the bell housing. I’m told that the crankshaft seal is a scroll type an can be expected to leak slightly.  Reading the first post worries me!
