Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question but I've just bought my first T25 (t3?) an Aircooled 2.0 holdsworth villa 1. All seems to be fine but after a short run today I parked on the slope of my drive, nose down. After a while I noticed oil dripping onto the drive from what I assume is the oil breathe...
