Cheers for that,when I took the dizzy out last time there was oil lying to one side of the hole.
But after running the car at a standstill there is nothing coming out of the dizzy at all its only when you drive it,even gently.
What do you think about the big wing sump ,could this cause it?
I did a search and another gibbs engine had this problem but the bloke wouldnt let on!
