Just dropped the sump plug on my 1970 Roadster for the first time due to oil leak. It has the Norvil sump plug kit with magnet but I found another length of magnet sitting loose in the strainer....could there be another magnetic plug elsewhere that has fractured (or did the PO drop it in for good measure) ?
Also even after a few minutes running prior to undoing the plug it still dropped about 1/2 pint of oil - is this normal ?
Finally (being more used to Triumphs) should there be a scavenge pipe going into the strainer - seems strange to have a strainer but no way to pull the "clean" oil out the centre.
