Too much junk sitting on the bonnet and I couldn't remember if the carburetors sat above the exhaust on the PVs, so I didn't post. But I thought the carbs might be in play.
When I race (MGA) even the slightest leak from the carb means that I don't pass the tech inspection. For fear of a leak from the float bowls, I have the overflow tubes routed all the way over to the other side of the engine and as far away from the exhaust as possible.
Good luck with your repairs. I'm glad that you are safe.
