Pretty much.  When I left it on Jay Mitchell's driveway overnight, it left
one oil spot the size of a dime.  Later, after I got it to Minnesota, it
left a noticible amount on my garage floor.  Not enough to terrorize a
britcar owner.  Since then, I have not seen much.

No, that's the Lotus.  It's empty.  Bad drain-plug, I think.  I will get to
that Real Soon Now.  Don't blame Britain.  It's a French engine...
