I understand what your saying buddy albeit due to long term health issues those days are sort of gone for me now buddy and with winter months drawing in fast i just wanted something that was really nice so i could just enjoy it straight away and have it serviced by my local RR specialist down the road.

Wise move,if he cannot find a oil leak then I wouldn't trust him with anything else,its not rocket science when all said and done. Was that why you may have been up on the Wirral?

Think outside, no box required.
Rocker covers
Front cover
Sump
Front crank seal
Rear main
Headgasket, "unlikely"
Valley gasket
all are quite simple to resolve, chances are it's been leaking for a while, I pressure wash mine before each MOT with industrial grade degreaser
Except the oil from mine comes out the front pump seal in my gearbox.
Engine is dry at the moment

you May have got lucky again. The M51 Bmw lump doesn’t tend to leak oil not a good sign. I still get suspicious when all the oil is where it’s supposed to be never feels right with a LR
it’s not about good money gets good P38s. Top money gets top shpiel is all. Same as they aren’t generally later model = newer = better, they seemed to take more pride in making them originally.
You just sorta know when it’s the one. Won’t matter how rough it is then you’ll love it even if it makes your life a misery.
Best thing you can do is stick around and just read p38s in the searchbar and join in with us.
in time you will know what you are looking at and no dealer BS will work on you. Then when a nice one turns up (does happen occasionally) you nab it!

I get what your saying, I am not 100% myself, and I have a P38 and a series II that I would like to put power steering on, so I can use it, If it wasn't for ppl on here helping me out I would have got rid of it a long time ago

We couldn’t be without you Dopes, we get too serious if you don’t keep us in check
I probably would t have lasted at all if it wasn’t for the support of my friends here. The Landy definitely wouldn’t have.

Something makes me feel he’s a V8 sufferer more than an oil burner also. Like it be more his thing?
