water leak

[SimonBanks]

I have water dripping from the beather pipe. is this normal or an indication of a worse problem?

Breather pipe - on the side of the engine? This after a short run?? Better check that the breather connection pipe on the rocker cover is not blocked. Otherwise - is the engine losing water? When were the oil/filter last changed?

It is the breather on the side. Yes it was after a short run up in the garage. Engine was rebuilt about 5 years ago but it has never been run for more than a shoty time as the car has taken longer to rebuild than expected. I did notice this afternoon a little waster coming from the block drain tap (probably needs turning a bit more) Bit of white in the oul filler cap but oil on dip stick clean

It's just condensation- it really needs a good blast up the Motorway.......

Thanks for that. I thaught it might be. I cant wait for the drive. It is nearly ready for an MOT after a 12 year resteration project!
