I just put the oil cooler back on the van with the new gasket. I'm hopeful that fixed my oil leak problem. I was a messy job! Lost more than 2 quarts of coolant in the process. So any thoughts on weather I should just go ahead and drain the whole system and refill, or would it be o.k. to add the 2 quarts back (in the overflow tank) and hope the system doesn't get airlock? I understand the back-end has a self-bleeding system (the plastic tubing around the lip engine compartment). thanks for your thoughts! Mark 1990 Westy GL |
