Oil leaks....go figure

Well, not much to report on the XJ6 except that on really cold mornings, she is a bit reluctant to fire first time. I've managed to abate that by 'tricking' the cold start system, which I think is defective, by putting the car in Drive and holding the key in the start position for a few seconds, which powers up the fuel pumps and gets the fuel rail pressurized which usually leads to a quick start.

I also did the second oil change (the first one, I did when I bought it so I'd have my baseline). I switched the oil from German Lubro Moly 15W-40 to Castrol GTX 10W-40 and it has proceeded to leak like a sieve from the drain plug seal, which is quite odd, so that will need to be attended to shortly.

Otherwise, the car is still running well, 3K miles later, and barring any sub zero no-start circumstances, I think we're good to go for winter. If it becomes desperate, I'll pop one of those Hitachi gear reduction starters on the car, which should make for easier winter firing.
