I had a drip like this, and it turned out to be a cracked oil gallery plug. Epoxy worked well, but it requires removal of the harmonic balancer (pulley) to get at.

OK, Tired of the minor oil drip from the rear center of my 91GL Auto. I changed the oil cooler seal and leak is still there. It is running down the side of a square aluminum part right on center mounted near/to the engine support(just to the left of the cooler(if you are under the van feet out)). Stealership said possible high pressure switch(w/o looking under the van), but buggy guy said cooler seal. Sick of the black spot in the drive. I'm not losing much per the dipstick, but seeing spray on hatch. Can anyone suggest a place to look/fix? Guess I will go to the VW parking lot show anyway, but wanted to look GOOD! Stressing on this as it is the only leak in the van. Thanks in advance. BTW-Technically challenged, but learning as I go. Gringo may only be a GL 7-pass, and will hopefully be accompanied by a Synco in the future, but he has been good to me so far. :-) -- Michael in San Antonio 91GL AT 'Gringo'
