I have owned my 85 rb for 2 weeks and suddenly I have lost most of my oil and an oily petrolly mix is leaking (gushing) out of the bodywork in the engine bay behind the lh steering rack while the engine is idling and probably while running. There are no leaks from the filter, or pressure switches etc. and its not burning any of the mixture (the car only has 28,000 on the clock, its had a VERY easy life). Any help with the fuel/oil/ anti pollution gear would be GREATLY appreciated... also if anyoen has a shop manual they dont wnat anymore then you may have a buyer cause i cant find one anywhere!

I'm new to the forum, i've been reading it for a while and i knwo theres not much on RB's here but still i'm optimistic...

thanks

well mate, i cant help you with your problem, but i can fill u in a bit. RB's arent accepted too well on this site, i own one, and so i dont give a shit what people think of it. There are about mine and 2 other RB's that i know of on this site. As for the manual, as far as i know, they arent available. Im assuming you are talking about a gregory's manual, and i cant find one either, and i dont think they are made.

Your best be tis probably to take it to a local mechanic and get him to have a look at it to quote you a price and tell you whats wrong, if he wants too much then you can just fix it yourself
