After repairing my oil drain threads with a Time-Sert, and installing a new drain plug and washer tightened to spec, I am still having a slow oil leak. Probably a couple of drops a day, give or take. Has anyone used a paper gasket under the washer, or addressed this in any other way? Or could the leak possibly be coming from the case seam itself? Allan -- 1991 Vanagon GL |
