Angel The Old Lady...STN

Having just got back into the system and being the last "flying spanner" to operate on this a/c from Amsterdam to STN 4 years ago...can anyone out there tell me what the future has in store for this "Old Lady" ?
I believe the info coming in is that the rudders have been replaced with those from the original AFX a/c located on "The Wasp" at Manston - I assume they have been through the workshops and correctly certified. (AFX has been grounded at Manston for approximately 6 years in rather salty conditions)
I did hear that #3 engine was experiencing the old problem of oil hiding...did that get sorted ?
