my 1987 vanagon was leaking oil and transmission fluid. my mechanic changed the gaskets on transmission and O ring on oil. i had him put in synthetic oil also. i am still having leakage of both fluids and today when accelerating i lost power for a few seconds. never happened before. in the archives i found this can happen when oil is overfilled. yes, i checked and its about 1/8 inch over the max fill line. maybe the transmission fluid was overfilled also. maybe thats why the seals are still leaking. am i thinking crazy--would overfilling by a little bit cause these things? arlene sondergaard 1987 wolfsburg vanagon "little brown jug" washougal, wa |
