I need help bad!!! I bought my third Vanagon ('87, non-GL, non-Sychro, non-Westy) about three months ago. The seller told me that the oil was in good shape. So, I took his word for it. Well, that was a while ago, and now it's time for me to change the oil again. But, the drain plug was apparantly previously stripped, so he inserted a larger drain plug and welded the frickin' thing in place (apparantly it was leaking and he needed to get rid of it). I need helP!!! What can I do? What is the lowest point of oil flow so I can perhaps drain the oil out of another hole? Please help!! The viscosity of the oil is dangerously low, and I don't want to lose my van! Thanks guys! FeeDub (Brian)
