I have developed a leak in the gasket/boot/rubber bit that goes between the throttle body (TB) and the air distribution manifold on this 84 1.9L. By that, I mean a leak on the output side of the TB, not the input side. A list member suggested I tighten everything on the TB, which might close the leak. How do you get to those two bolts? Right angle phillips-head driver? If that ain't good enough, and I need to replace the rubber gasket, then I'll need to remove the TB. I'm trying to puzzle out the easiest way to get the it off . Bentley, unless my Male Pattern Blindness is kicking in more strongly than usual, doesn't address that point. Which leaves me to my wits to figure it out. Never a good idea to leave me to my wits. -- Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") 74 Utility Trailer.
