Bowlsby,
Thank you for the feedback.
Let me clarify some things. I put in 4 quarts plus half a bottle of Lucas in my Raby 2056 with the wheels on the ground. When I went into the garage the next morning, wheels still on the ground, there was a huge puddle of oil on the floor. I only lifted it the way I did to investigate the source of the leak. I know where it is coming from but I don't know why it would leak that way. Even when tilted in the past, it has never leaked like this but again all four wheels were on the ground and the car was level.
Is the rocker box supposed to fill with oil even? Presumably other cars have oil return tubes and not pushrods in those tubes and so it makes sense to me that oil would be in the tubes and in the rocker box.
The wheels are back on the ground again and I will certainly ensure I place jack stands around to make ir more safe... thank you for the reminder.
I will take a closer look tomorrow.
