Chris,


I hope so, as this would be the first documented case of the dreaded
head gasket leak on an air cooled engine. So... if anti-freeze starts
spewing from my head gaskets I'm suing somebody and retiring wealthy.


Happy Friday,
David Higginbotham

David,


This is a sure indication of a head gasket leak.  You must immediately
convert your Vanagon to 240 HP of flat-6 Subaru SVX power!

P.S.  Sorry, it is Friday!
