I am aware that Perkins are considered to be a bit like older land rovers - you start worrying about them when they stop dripping oil - but I felt the amount of oil was excessive. Given that there was also water from the raw water pump, it was difficult to judge how much oil had leaked out - perhaps 100-200ml? There is no obvious leaks, but given that the bilge slopes, it is evident that the leak comes somewhere from the front of the engine (ie the other end from the propshaft/gearbox). During our short shake-down trip I noticed that the raw water pump was dripping water however after the trip I discovered that there was a fair amount of oil in the engine bilge. We took her out for the first time in our ownership today (very exciting!).
