A week ago today I took delivery of a New M3W to join my Plus 4, Its has already become my favourite car !.
I recently noticed a teaspoon of oil on the garage floor, the oil appeared to be thick gear oil so I guessed it was coming from the Bevel box area.
Every time I parked the car left its scent mark. I messaged the supplying Morgan dealership for advice, the sales man responded immediately and passed it to the workshop for response, they took 36 hours to respond by email and said they would look at the leak on the first service.
I'm not an expert but my thoughts were and bearing in mind the car has now done 170 miles by 1000 miles they probably wouldn't be much oil left in the BB.
Cutting to the chase I looked on the search box on TM and saw a cut and and paste post from Garage 56 who said if the BB leaks check the orange breather.
As I unscrewed the breather a escape of pressure build up could be heard and on inspection the breather was blocked solid.
So now unblocked and the oil cleaned form the underside I gave the car a good run out, parked on the drive and so far no further leaks.
Normally I would have taken the car straight back to the dealers but I live on the Isle of Wight and the dealer is almost 70 miles away, I guess my thoughts ran to disappointment at the dealers lack of response and care which I wasn't used too as my Plus 4 came from a dealership where I received personal first class service.
The car however is amazing and I find any excuse I can to take it out for a drive, I totally understand your passion.
