While popping the engine out to sort the oil leaks I thought we would bring in the new assistant for a learning expierence.

Grim, trying to remove the alternator asked the new assistant for a 3/4" rachet with a 13mm socket on it.

Off trots the new assistant and returns with.....

... A Teddy....

Dog was too smart to be caught out. 3/4 ratchet with a 13mm socket? He knew it was a test.

Rats,too slow.

The best par to me is the fact the assistant didn't answer back.

We have to presume you told him of your error?

Looks like your getting a "woof" time of it Rob since you started this thread.
Hopefully redoing the engine seals etc should "lead" to a leak free lump and
this doesn't become a "bone" of contention to you.
