The oil is leaking out of my Vanagon at a very fast rate, about a quart every couple of days. Could this be a head gasket leak? I am completely clueless about this. What should I expect when I take it in, if this is indeed the problem? Does the engine have to be rebuilt? Does the gasket just have to be replaced? Should anything else have to be done at the same time. What should I expect to pay? And finally, does anyone have a good recommendation for a repair shop in San Diego, preferably in North County? Thanks, Michael Jacobs (Rookie owner) 90 Vanagon |
