At this point i think the stop leak seal sweller is the way to go. Also after a week if you can get to the gasket bolts it helps to give them all a snug-up, like a 1/4 turn. That’s what’s worked for me.

I will share with you what a poor white shade tree mechanic with 67 years on my feet has learned. I will pay a mechanic to do something that I feel is beyond my skill set, and if he will allow me to watch him do it, then next time. I might try it, and save some money. But, here is something else, the cars are getting more and more beyond my abilities every model year. I have started a repair, and had to pay for the car to be towed to a dealership or specialist after I couldn't finish it. So, tread carefully Bob. And Happy Motoring.

$250 labor to change my trans fluid on my 2006 phantom at my local bmw mechanic , I brought the zf parts from fcpeuro

Red and chrome would be very striking and honestly pretty… GO FOR IT

I ran a 2011 Rolls Royce Ghost until recently. The car had barely reached 20,000 miles when I got it. During my ownership it never missed a beat. Service costs were around £4,500 per service, but the smile factor this car gave me was priceless...

At 205 is amazing. Pour one bottle at a time though add more as needed because it works over time. Super strong stuff better than everything else.

I enjoy your videos, so casual doing creative stuff.

Having a Rolls Phantom can be expensive I'm afraid, Robert. But I love Rolls Royce just as much as you do... But you drive a Rolls Phantom. I'm just an enthusiast for the brand. Very best wishes

Key word Brits invented for minor oil leaks is "Seepage" & think of it as free rustproofing :) .Bob just love your videos😘!

AGAIN, you are amazing and YES, DIY if you can. I have a car channel and that is what I teach..

The Rolls Royce content is how I got started watching your channel. There is not much content about the Phantoms. I used to own a Bentley Turbo R and I really like the Phantom's. I think the Phantom will be my next car purchase. I also like learning about all your vehicles including your coach. I really like the older stainless steel Prevost coaches. Thank you for your content.

Every time I took my Yaris in for repairs it was like $2000, $3000, $6000 so it doesn’t matter how cheap or expensive the cars are. It’s just ridiculous to service them. I found it way cheaper to buy brand new every couple years than to try to service old cars

It's a shame that when they build a car like a Rolls-Royce, a Bentley or a Mercedes they are not built to last at least 100,000 miles with just oil changes, tire rotations and brakes. A Rolex will last for years if it's properly maintained. But, these car companies are all the same. They want you to keep coming back to the dealership and dropping a bundle.

Loving the RR content!!!

We are neurotic and perfectionists....the reason of our troubles...❤. Regards from Athens Greece...

Some 5-10 years ago I was quoted something crazy to have a Buick LaCrosse front end redone ... and I told them for that I could put 4 new tires on it 5 times. It shut them up pretty quick.

Hey Bob, Scotty Kilmer swears by a product called AT 205 re-seal… scratch that, you just announced that you ordered a case of it 😂

I have an old Mercedes and my valve covers showed signs of small leaks. I just torqued the bolts to the highest specs no more leaks!!!!

Absolutely a beautiful car so smooth and quiet.

Red with the black trim looks dope 🔥

Rolls-Royce video Bob how do you like that? I’m just messing with you. I enjoy all your videos including the Rolls-Royce I enjoy your humor thanks Bob keep up the good work my family and I will keep watching ya.

Hey Bob, I love the English culture as I'm from England too. I love tea as well. So it's fine really! I love the content you create on Rolls Royce! I love the way car rides etc! You're good! Love to see the series on the barn find of the 73 corniche! Keep it going! Take care, Josh

"Wizard" does NOT know Rolls Royces! His mechanics are awesome, but they are NOT versed on RR either! PS I agree with you! Just because you have the money does NOT mean you want to be used! I think you are smart! I service all my Rolls Royces (current 8)!

Right move, a small oil leak is fine. You just keep your eyes on it so it dont get worse

Absolutely right wait until something major has to be done then you have to worry about it at that time

the dude from project farm is theee ishhhh!!!!!!! and what he does is super hard work. salute to him. just editing videos alone consistantly is hard work. salute to u bob too

I agree ,and you are so so lucky to have a Pit !

Great content love your channel's

The red with the black grill is sweet

That car is over the top!!😊

Saw the Rolls sitting out front driving by Werks I thought I bet that’s Bobs.

The pictures of the red cars with the black looks way better than red and brightwork pictures IMO. Jayman...

Yes it would look lovely in red Bob and I agree with you about the oil leaks,if not harmful to the car nice video 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧Manchester England 🇬🇧

When I was 22 years old I bought a pristine '70 Mercedes C250. It had been in storage for a couple of years, but only had 22,000 miles. Within the first year it required a valve job because of the leaded to no lead gas change required by the government. The valve guides had to be replaced. But after that, no much went wrong that I couldn't fix myself. Taking cars to the dealer for service is something I only do while they're in warranty.

Another Day in Paradi$e...

Project Farm is just an amazing channel Bob! So cool you’re a fan of his too!

That Red with black pic looks awesome Bob

Red and black chrome would be insane! Everyone would know it's Bob coming through.

Holy cow. $1,100? I guessed between $400-$500. I was way off. Dang. Did your butt hurt when you left? 😂😂

Bob you have great taste.That car number 1. Thank you

That was me asking about the welds. Not bad at all!

I've been watching your phantom saga since the beginning, hopefully I can see it in person one day ? 😅

I have my 2015 Mercedes S550 at the shop right now , among some other stuff they’re changing my transmission fluid as well , price , $180 bucks … rear differential fluid change is 60 bucks … I love my S class … 😊

You can hang some soft nerf balls or ping pong balls on the right side of the container and align it with the side mirror or front left corner to show you if you're aligned when reversing in.

A shop wanted $700 to fix my oil pan leak. I started using AT 205 and after 2 oil changes, no more leak. But I have to use it all the time. Every oil change. The thing is I've read it cuts down on your engine lubrication protection.

thats pretty reasonable i paid 900 for transmission flush and fill for my 2013 audi s8

Good on you. The RR is great, don't worry about the oil leak... BMW motors have lots of plastic... I have a couple of MINI's... I know... do it same time you do the timing chain... looking forward to some more videos on your new Corniche ... O do you need an air con in the new garage for the Royce?

as long as its leaking. its got fluid.

That is a nice car. I love the silver color.

Love your channel, am a 68 year old Mercedes guy.... Red is great, but it looks soooo classy like it is.... Dan I always wanted a RR, but no longer live in SO CAL, now in NW Arkansas. Try to get proper service on a RR in Arkansas...

I say keep the chrome and honestly it's YOUR car and you should be allowed to do what YOU want! If you want to wrap it in red go for it! Hell if anything I say go for a two tone like your other one, I could totally see this car wrapped in red with a black roof but whatever you do is your choice man, can't wait to see what you have planned for it, Cheers!

Use epoxy paint with sand grains for the ramp. Best you can use. Fun to do the work yourself.

Matt Red with Black Grills look sick.. You gotta do it.. And I'm English by the way 😜 Make sure to get your pinky up while drinking your tea 😜...

If a used BMW 7 series is garbage, imagine what this would be to own !

Phantom. Worth every penny spent on maintenance. What a Beautiful Car !

Couple of ideas. I would have done the trans oil and filter change over your pit. Ive used Valvoline max life atf in many different Zf trans both Range Rovers and Vw with no issues. Its like the dealer "Fluid doesnt need changing as its filled for life". I would also start using t5 15/40 as the lighter oils with higher mileages tend to lose the fuel savings due to wear and leaks. YMMV

Go for the red, not sure on trim. Let us know when you are done and when you have her out. Would love to see it on the prowl.

Yes wrap it red with gold wheels 👍

I would love to see what a candy apple Red Rolls Royce would look like !! It would be AWESOME!!!!!

@17:54 that flat red n black one right here, this one right here nilla!!! this one is fuego!!!! fire

I just had to replace my low-pressure AC line on a 2021 Honda Civic Type-R. It was a $1100 repair at the dealer with a discount. 😅

That’s a beautiful car. I’d ride in that beast. I love the red and black. Kounts Customs uses a great wrap company. Can’t remember the name. But they are in LV.

Saw one wrapped in chrome in NYC

Go for the red! Black accents to match the wheels!

I'm headed to Macao soon, I'll look out for the red Rolls Royce Phantoms.

My 2018 Audi S4 had an oil leak at the timing cover. $5200 to fix at the dealer!

RED would sure make a statement Bob! 😊

I look at your Rolls Royce adventures as...your business, and if you enjoy it, who cares what anyone else thinks? What matters is that you enjoy the car you like.

The leaking valve cover gasket sometimes drips oil on the exhaust manifold and you get a neausating smell through the vents You won't smell it when you're moving but i you will n stop and go traffic

a 205 is great additive it does work

Well in fairness you can't go wrong with a Toyota 🎉🎉 that's what I drive

I love the rolls videos

Wrap it in red and keep the polished chrome parts. Would look awesome.

Make it red and people will think it’s one of the resorts world Rolls Royce. But that red and black looks amazing

Do it that would be so timeless.

Wrap it a satin red and do the trim in black!! It would look great!!!

I am British and fuck what any body thinks a red Rolls Royce would look epic go for it bob

They need to have that camera thing on all cars today! I bought my new car thinking it would be all high tech especially being Japanese, but nope no heated seats, no fancy buttons.... the passenger seat doesn't move electronically only manually & it only has a backup camera for $30,000 I expected more lol....I worked hard for that 30g's!

I do the same with all of my vehicles if it's a minor leak I don't worry about it

Engine is in great shape, i don’t think your hoses are going to break. Even the plastic looks semi new

Bob; I like the present colour. I wouldn’t paint it red if it were mine. The black rims are ok. I watched the video where you were debating about the silver or the black ones you had on hand. Didn’t get a chance to vote, though. Makes good sense though. Why buy new tyres right? Anyway, enjoy the videos (mostly). Karaoke isn’t my thing! BOL!

I don’t care what anyone says, cars are expensive to maintain full stop. I have a 20 year old Merc CLK that costs me on average $1,000 a year in maintenance and a 8 year C class that costs me equally $1,500 every year, cars are simply expensive to maintain, doesn’t matter the brand or car make. Unless it’s a 1920s Defender that can run on water.

Man i like that buy a case of 205 hell if it works then you got it on hand.

Red would look good 👍

I dont get it.. what filter and oil did you get? If you got the 760 transmission filter then it's the same.. as long as you got it OEM or ZF and not some cheap aftermarket.

Make the brightwork gloss black?

Do things just to piss off others. It’s the way I live and I get a kick out of it.

Nice matt red black chrome 😊😊 and the English moan about everything I know I live in this dump of a country lol I've been to Las Vegas once and I absolutely love and miss it

The transmission deal is very doable if it’s anything like the ZP HP8 on my 5 series BMW (I think they are not that different in terms of transmission)…. The other stuff… well…. I think the costs are in line with BMW also. My rule of thumb on the bmws, as well as even my Toyotas, is if it’s over 100k miles, and seeping oil, leave it the heck alone. However, if it’s burning due to a drip, or Im adding a qt, it might be time to invest in the repair. My suggestion, based on what you are saying…. I would address it. Maybe not urgently, but I would put it on the list. My guess is the stop leak wont help, but it wont hurt!

How long will they guarantee the repair?

6:15 Exactly, that's why rich people get many of their products for free. You don't stay rich by spending money needlessly. As for the Corniche, you should make it like Elton John Bentley Continental was in Nikita.

I've thought about Rolls-Royce phantom only if i was a millionaire😂. i agree with you about working on vehicles yourself.

I love the idea of a red rolls & yes, I am British Bob.

The factory mag wheels looks the best on that car .😀😀😯😉😈😈😈😈😉

That V12 looks miniscule in there.

Why is Rolls so popular if they are money pits? I'd rather have a hot rod 😂...... I'm new to your channel and I imagine you do have a hot rod too idk 😊

Wrap it Ferrari Red and definitely black out the trim. Also paint the brakes red to match.

Might be leaking from lack of use. Driving it might ‘plump up’ the gaskets and reduce the leaking.

A quart every 1 or 2 months leave it alone it’s ok 👍🏻. Use gasket maker to make a gasket or enhance the gasket.

Flat, red and flat black is the best I think
