My Rover P5b has a trick of sitting for some while and then suddenly depositing a cup full of fluid on the floor.If started every few days it doesnt seem to leak but if left for a couple of weeks fluid seems to fill the filler tube up to almost the top . I'm assuming this is fluid leaking back from the torque convertor but it seems odd to me that it starts to climb so far up the tube.
Does this make sense to anyone else?.
 
Normally they leak from somewhere else before the fluid gets near the top of the dipstick tube so in normal use you must have a pretty oil tight box. The converter draining back will be the cause.
 
Thanks Harvey. I seldom use the old girl so I think Ill have to get used to starting it up every few weeks or put up with puddles on the floor.
 
Consider yourself lucky it doesn't leak from somewhere nearly all the time. What you have sounds completely normal to me.
 
I am very pleased to hear that this "leak" is normal. I've been looking around to try and find just where the pink stuff comes from.
