A friend of mine has a Series III XJ6 and the other day it dumped about a
litre of transmission fluid on his drive way.  He topped it up again and
hasn't had a problem since.
For some reason, he had unintentionally reved the motor pretty hard while in
reverse.  After that he reversed  the car up his his fairly steep drive way
at normal slow speed.  Did the revving have anything to do with the oil
loss?

Wow Graham, sounds a bit freaky. I would pull myself under the car and
try to find the source of the leak.

I will look into this.

Cheers,

Yeah.  He isn't planning any long trips.  It hasn't leaked since, however.
