Why he has an other Rover to take care of, why would he waste his time with that old truck.  Buy it from him if you want to do that Ben.

i was leaning towards THECOL2  but then I said....its more natural!!  got it now parked in the driveway, next to the Series and Range rover... Starting to look like Chris' yard!  A leak has been detected so i will have to power wash underneath and determine the source!   here we start!

Rear seal, the gasket is most likely gone and will need to be replaced.  Good news is it will continue to spray oil under your truck so it will never rust, but it is a pain to clean up and fix.  I have tried a few things and after fixing this and that I always seem to get a new leak.

Don't ever look under mine you will panic...
