Took the Le Mans out for a run today, finishing with a 10 minute run up the motorway at 5 - 6,000 rpm in top.
When I got home I noticed some oil over the back of the gearbox, running rearwards.
Quickly traced it to the gearbox breather pipe which runs from the 'box forwards and upwards in between the V before returning back as far as the carbs.
Never had a drop out of it before; is it usual for the gearbox to 'breathe' oil at constant high-ish revs?
Wondering whether to put a catch bottle over the pipe end.
