Our 1973 Jaguar E-Type Roadster Series 3 has come back into the workshop for some attention while its owner is back home in France.
Classic car technician Steve has been taking a closer look at the vehicle and noticed that there was oil around the filter housing. Oil was also found on the side of the engine, which Steve believed could be coming from the oil feed pipe. More oil was also present around the side of the gearbox and sump.
To find out where the leak was coming from, Steve cleaned all of the areas and applied a leak detector. The oil leak was found to be coming from the back of the engine, specifically, the filler tube. A slight leak was also found to be coming from the solenoid terminal and the oil filter housing.
Steve checked that the breather system was ok and not blocked before moving on to resolving the leaks.
While working on our stunning E-Type, Steve also fitted a new bonnet catch and latch.
