OK, finally got back to the car after a day at sea, it had no issues at all when I started her just then and went for a blast. There was a rain last night, wondering if a little water got into the engine cover and put some moisture into a bank of plugs or distributor possibly. I also wanted to ask, after my 1400km trip from Germany to France, inclusive of my oil leak, as minor as it is, the dip stick range finders (high and low markings) seem to be exactly a litre of oil once the car is warmed up, is this correct? What is the average oil consumption on a 911 3.2 from 85 on a journey like that? I just put half litre in all is as it should be, but I did park on a hill yesterday and heard a nasty rattle in the bows of the engine. I killed the engine and rolled to flat ground, all was fine after that.

Next question, a click in the rear left wheel when turning sharp right, and a noticeable although subtle vibration in the steering also, CV joints?

Thanks as always,

Bez
