After being parked in the garage for two weeks, I didn't find any puddles. I know the fluids are at their proper level.

Is something wrong, and if so, how do I fix it?

You're out of oil.

Aimlessly turning various nuts and knobs on the SU's is a good way to get your car back to what other car people think they should be like :)

You obviously have not fixed it enough yet. It often takes quite a lot of repair work to get them to leak properly.

p.s. it also helps if you drive it, instead of leaving it parked for 3 weeks.

I'll bet all the smoke has escaped from the wiring too. Better get a new jar and refill the whole harness.

clearly you are not examining every aspect as closely as you should..
for a small fee i will be very glad to examine your machine and reveal faults...

I don't believe you. This is obviously a set-up to make us think that there's something wrong with our cars.

Ah, I got it. You aren't refering to an MG, it's your wife's Lexus you're talking about.

Its probably either out of fluids or too cold to drip so has congealed down the sides of the motor!

Several possiblities:
1. You need glasses
2. You need glasses and you have a Miata
3. It is one of the seven signs of the end of the world
4. The last time you changed the oil, you filled the crank case with por-15 instead of motor oil
5. You B is just 'acting" good because it wants something
6. You are an alien who is just trying to get us all into coming to see your "amazing non-leaking MGB" so you can attack us and eat our brains.
7. your engine and transmission have been stolen
8. You own a GM, not an MG
9. you are a pathalogical liar
10. You and my wife have formulated a plan to drive me insane by convincing me that there is an MG out there that doesn't leave puddles so that you can get me committed and thus steal my Famous Belly Button Lint Of World collection.
11. You are hitting the crack pipe again
12. you have suffered a recent major brain trauma
13. This is all part of a vast right-wing conspiracy
14. Geraldo Rivera put you up to this
15. You're angling for some economic stimulus money

Yeah, we're on to you!

MIke, Take your medecine. The delusions will go away. Take the green ones - not more of those blue ones.

Your "B" has learned how to reverse gravity, or your lawn Gnomes are wiping it up when your looking the other way.

The next thing you will be saying is that your Harley Davidson does not leak.

I agree with the 1st poster...you are out of oil!

Next time you open up your pit you are in for a nasty surprise!!

You must have done maintenance and restoration with help from Snopes.com.

Yes.

The automatic chassis corrosion protection system and parking place spotting monitor is non-functional.

You would not believe how much these little beauties cost.

Fortunately, I have a glove-box model that I am willing to make available to you for the low, low, amazingly low price that is so low I cannot even mention it here but a second mortgage would be advised.

It is made of pure polished unobtanium and has the added benefit of being ecologically sound as it presses fresh Castor beans AS YOU DRIVE (Castor beans available at extra charge). Craftsmen in Somalia produce these between ethnic cleansing raids and as unobtanite becomes available.

Honestly, I can't see how you managed to let this get to the level you describe. I am somewhat ashamed to even have to make this FABULOUS offer to you.
