After a few discussions, I decided that the problem I experienced coming back from Ft. Meigs might have been fuel, so I decided to replace the in-line filter between the tank and the pump.
new filter installed
Brad came over, and we finished the catch can.

We drove to the local brits meeting on Wednesday 24 June 2015, with no issues.
We have decided that the primary cause of our oil leak is the crankcase breather, and are developing a catch can, out of found objects – as before.
We are going to use the original old style oil filter as a holder, and I have been buffing it.

June 7 brought the 17th annual British Cars at Ft. Meigs, and it was a good day for us!
We drove 110 miles through the flat farmland of NorthWest Ohio to Perrysburg, where the show is held in a park. I had many good conversations with both knowledgeable and curious people!

It was a great drive back – Mini doing well!
Next: finish the catch can and Mid Ohio Vintage vintage.
