The thing that I find strange is the car never has problems starting but when it has stalled like this it just keeps turning for what seems an eternitity (probably 5 secs. in reality) before sparking. Regarding the leak, a couple of the gromets on the top of the engine feel loose (they pop out of the block fairly easily) where and what exactly should I be looking for and where can I get the parts from? Any help is much appreciated. GG p.s. not hijacking this thread am I?
