At the end of one of the competitive stages coming out
of the desert to an oasis, we discovered an oil leak due to a chafed oil
line. Oil spraying over the exhaust & chassis. Fixed it on the main
road (with military & tourist police watching the mad foreigners) in
30 minutes with the help of David Spurling whose Morgan (Plus 4) we had
assisted repairs on earlier. Fortunately it happened where it did &
we were able
to limp in trailing blue smoke & locate a fuel station
(with full police escort) for extra oil. Thought we might have to miss
the control but the lightning fix saw us off on time with no penalties.
