Bangernomics pt2.. 1997 Pugly 106. Saved from the scrapper.

That will teach me to treat Pugly to some nice shiny new insurance and tax for another year , it decided to start to leak 10w40 over the drive at a rather alarming rate... charming. Very annoying as it has neither used or leaked a drop at all in 5 years.

It transpires after a little googlage that lifeblood spurting out of the corner of the block above the alternator is a common issue with the TU engine. Guess who is going to be doing their first ever head gasket! There is a bonded seal on the gasket around an oilway that fails.
