Peace & Love, Larry Chase Email: RoadGuy@RoadHaus.com Web: WWW.RoadHaus.com Cell: 408.202.1217 What: North American Road Trip How: RoadHaus - 1990 White VW Westfalia Syncro Today: Arizona - - - Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2003 00:35:27 -0800 From: Kriss De Jong <banshee@KILLERBANSHEE.COM> Subject: Vanagon repair in Phoenix AZ area? I looked at the recommended repair list. I searched the archives. Nothing I could find. Does anyone have a recommendation for a vanagon repair shop in Phoenix? We've been on the road a lot and she's been doing well, but right before we hit Phoenix tonight I looked in my rearview window and thot, gee that's weird to have condensation on the back window and not the front. Well, when we stopped at my spouses parent's house (only 15 miles or so later) and got out I went around back to look at the condensation thing. It is oil. There is oil leaking from the box near the back axel (square box that has 'fins'...drips coming from 4-5 points). (sorry, I'm not super well trained on the engine stuff...I don't know if this is oil, transmission fluid or what)...thoughts on what it is, and suggestions on where to bring it appreciated. We're supposed to be heading back to Oakland on the 3rd of January. The only thing I knew to check is fluid levels. Everything is at fine levels... Thanks, Kriss |
