Sandy told me one was the quarter light hinge, which is of the later type. As it was rebuilt in the sixties (due to it's poor state of repair), most parts are from the sixties parts bin.

No drips, but I suspect that there is no oil, I know that the brakes don't work so probably no brake fluid either!
This message board is like a family - you can't choose the other members!! But remember engine oil is thicker than water.
