This is a new one to me. I have a 1957 948cc in standard form, recently re-built throughout. Runs lovely but after driving 10 miles or so and then parking it wont start until I have let it cool down for an hour or so. Ideas anyone ?

Oil leak from rear of crank

I have a 57 Minor with the original 948 engine. On a recent long trip it pumped all the engine oil into the gearbox bell housing in the space of 10 miles.
