Sounds a little strange I know but what do they both have in common
As i would say with most people on the forum I like my Pizza and what do you do with your box after.
And as with most on this forum once again Morris likes to drip a little oil
A Family Size or Large fits perfectly under the front of the Mini to collect any oil while he's at rest of a night.

Do you just let the oil drip onto the floor

Sometimes it better to eat the box and put the pizza under the car.

Totaly agree on that...I can't stand the normal Franchised Pizza's...I pay more for Gormet

DOn't bother , make your own then you know what's in them and they are to your taste . You don't get the boxes to use as an oil tray (bloody good idea really and the cardboard soaks up the oil well) though but you get damn good pizza .

Good point , I'm trying to get motivated and build a wood fired pizza oven , it might be a winter project at this rate , too hot to be stuffing around with bricks and concrete at the moment and not being paid for it ...

I use the wife's oven roasting tray. She complains about it though.

Hi guys,

I just got a 69 matic for 2 weeks and I brought the car for a check before buying it and the guy there says basically there is no visible oil leaks at all.

When I drove it back home and was all happy and all that, roughly 5 mins later, found out that it wasn't what he said. I could actually see a black mark on the concrete right under the front right corner of the engine bay. Touch it, and it's like greasy, I supposed that is the oil comign from the bottom of the gearbox, and it is I think.

And Guess what, it just keep coming and coming everytime I drove and park. Is that normal.


I have read through something about the hardening of the seals which might be the cause of this from a general car magazine. What are seals?

Hope someone can explain a bit. Thanks mate.

Ben A.

Good old South Australian beer

I use the garage floor adds character to the building. Would smell better if it was castor oil though - oil school motor shoppe

Most mini's will have some type of oil leak somewhere , it's part of them and the age of components . How big a leak is the real question , a spot or two per day or a dinner plate sized puddle per day ? The first accesory most peoplembuy for their mini is an oil drip tray for the garage floor . If it ever stops leaking oil then you know it needs topping up
