hi
I have a moggie with a marina 1275 engine. It seems to be pushing oil out of the breathers and dip stick tube generously. Can anybody suggest the first port(s) of call i.e. is it a common fault or something folk are familiar with?
Most grateful for your suggestions
Steve
Also, can a marina anti-roll bar be fitted to a 1963 traveller?

Sounds like exsesive crankcase pressure forcing the oil out. I would check the breather pipes for any blockages first also the breather canister on the timing cover has a gauze in it this could be choked up also is the oil level ok not overfilled? other than that is the mechanical condition of the engine ok
Ive also got hold of a marina anti rol bar havn't fitted it but does seem to line up well on the minor I think I will need to weld some plates to the chassis to attach some mounts to I still need to figure out what type of droplink to use on the ends & how to attach them
