Volks, My 84 Westy continues to frustrate me. Saturday it was running quietly, Sunday morning I cranked it up and it had developed an engine click. Yesterday, I worked on the engine a while and saw what I thought was smoke comming from the transmission area. What I was really looking at was water vapor comming from the crancase vent. The previous owner had hooked a hose to the crankcase vent, run it over the engine and terminated over the transaxle. [It should go into the lower hole in the elbow just past the AFM shouldn't it?] Any way water vapor and a few droplets of water were comming out of this hose. I caught some of it in a cup and it appeared to have an orange tint. [ I use the orange coolant.] Since I have never seen this before, I assume that the click and the vapor venting are related. If you have had these symptoms, please let me know what your problem was and what you did to solve it. TIA, John Houser, Jr. Perry, Ga.
