Well, further to my previous 'oil leakage' scenario... the clutch cover overhaul has stayed leak free but I think I have traced it to the inner cover as I have noticed that the 'tell tail' oil leak has reappeared after a good run! So it looks as though all my first efforts were in vain. I'm not 100% sure it's the inner cover yet as I've not had time to thoroughly inspect it but I can't see where else it could possibly come from. The drain bolt is nice & clean & leak free. All I can see is a droplet of oil clinging to the lowest part of the sump! I think a really good clean & degrease followed by the 'talcom powder trick is next.
