Unfortunately, it is not possible to make, what is essentially a Vintage design of engine, completely oil-tight as in a modern car.
My Chummy is pretty good but it's taken a lot of work to get there and it still drips occasionally, especially when running hard and hot in hilly areas.
I've given up trying to explain the facts to the 18 year olds that are employed as MoT inspectors these days.....
