Talking New classic Jag owner

I wanted to drop in and introduce my new baby. I just bought a 1964 E-Type 3.8L from my grandfather. It has been in the family for over 40 years and has been the car I have wanted ever since I can remember. I am going into this completely blind as I have only owned modern cars before. It runs well but I have discovered an oil leak that I need to find and fix. The car has been sitting the last few years as my grandpa got older and couldn't drive it anymore. It's all pretty exciting and scary all at the same time. The car is going into hibernation as winter is coming to northern Indiana this weekend. Hopefully I can have it ready to go at the first sign of spring.
