1954 MG TF - S. Florida Service & Oil Leak
I just inherited a 1954 MG TF (1250cc)
1) Does anyone know of a reputable British Sports Car service shop in the South Florida (Fort Lauderdale Area) 2) I have an oil leak. The leak only occurs right after I turn off the motor and the leak stops a few minutes after the motor stops running. During one instance, the car idled rough (after being driven for 15 min.), died and then the leaking proceeded ... then ceased. I can see droplets coming from under the oil filter (were the filter spins onto the "pump"). This just started to happen. Maybe there is something I do not know about driving the car. A "quirk", if you will, about keeping the rpms up while idling, to keep the oil pressure up? hhmmm I've had the car less than a week. It was professionally transported from California to South Florida. It was serviced before I received it and the service included an oil & oil filter change. My grandfather bought it 6 months used in 1954, my father took over ownership/care until he passed this last December. Now I am starting to care for the care and do not have any intimate knowledge about the care or quirks of the car. Though I do want to learn as I am planning to keep the car in our family. It has been in our family for over 50 years. Thank You in advance for any suggestions. Mark Graham |
