Something wrong with 838 - not leaking

It has been slow on this site, so I decided to post.

ERA 838 has something wrong with the engine and rear.

The FE engine is completely dry. There is absolutely no oil coming out where it shouldn’t.

Same problem with the Jaguar based rear. It is bone dry.

The engine has oil and so does the rear. It is strange they aren’t leaking.

Should I replace gaskets and seals to get them leaking like they were designed to do?

John
