Sure, that's easy. Replace the o-rings, the one that seals the vacuum pump into the block (probably the same o-ring used on the distributor of the gas inline 4), and the one at the top plate of the vacuum pump (on the rotary-vane pump; I haven't seen a diaphragm pump). -Mike Moery Anchorage, AK --------------- ||E[__] [__]|[_]\ | =======| - || * * * *( o )-------( o )= 'Ol Bessie '82TD Westy

I guess the angle the engine is mounted at along with the intermediate shaft oiling groove is causing a bit of oil to get out of the block where the pump is attached. Is there something that can be done to minimize this mess? Bradley Flubacher State College, PA '81 diesel rabbit '82 diesel westy '82 diesel van '84 GL wasserboxer |
