Thanks for you opinion on the aircooled..the guy w/the oilleak engine said the head was a "new" one not rebuilt- not sure if this "could" be possible...any event he BS'd me on several accounts - said the van hadn't been started that day,when I came back from the testdrive he slipped saying he had started it earlier and no oil leak. BTW - does anyone have a particular on 1.9L vs 2.1L and year?
