As I say I know it's leaking but not quickly - I topped it up three days ago and its at the same level, (city driving everyday). Is there a possibility it could be repairable? Wasn't going to sell it just yet, I'm waiting until I have some money to get a turbo (T16s would be nice, take even longer to save for though). Mines a 2 door embassy blue 900i saloon with about 5 days MOT! I'm in London. Cheers, GG.
