Engine or gearbox?
While we are on drips what sump plug/washer brand do you use?
I’m on my 3rd type (bmw) seems odd can’t really get anything on there like it’s wrong fitment somehow.

Engine oil.
Plug is original so I assume it is BMW. I used the washer from the Mahle oil filter kit and it doesn't seem ro leak.

Ran the mains cable out to him so I can bung the dehumidifier in when the washing has finished drying. Try to keep the electrics sweet, although the wind and sun at the new place seem to dry him more / quicker than at the old place. Still got to book him in for the brakes.

More likely corrosion in the connector.

Brake fluid flushed and brakes bled. I thought the brakes were OK before but they're excellent now. I reckon that needs doing once a year, minimum.
Oil in front axle replaced. New stuff is transparent but says it is the right grade.

I've got a stash of that from the last Eurocarparts sale so I am good for a year. Hoping things will settle down before I need to buy again!

Definitely once a year, water in the brakes can cause expensive problems
