They usually leak around the engine number area, I always used to put a but of gasket stuff on that area when assembling. Water may be running along from the thermostat housing though

Since installing a thermostat and the engine then running at the correct temperature I thought it was time to pull one of the previously cold/oily plugs (#2 & #3) and have a look. No longer oily, and a smooth pearly grey colour with hints of...

Yes, I now realise you meant me to pull the air-filter off to get at the back of the SU. Silly-Billy me. ;)

Hope she recovers to a point where she can go back home and live as she has been doing.;)

Yes, I have looked at them in the past. Just had another look and they do certainly look a lot better than I remember them. I will prolly get one. Don't want to go through this hassle again. My hand pump, which is nigh on useless, takes forever...
