Subject:      '87 Vanagon GL: Oil leaks
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


Hello all,


I have oil leaks that I need to address and was wondering where the most common suspected points of origin might be?


The individual from whom I purchased it said that he thought one of the crankshaft seals could be the culprit.  The leaks do appear to dripping from both ends of the engine though that could also be the result of one leak trailing to another location, pooling then dripping, right?




I've always been fortunate with all of the vehicles in my possession and have been able to get by with only minor repairs, replacements, upgrades or maintenance, so please bear with my apparent lack of knowledge concerning what may possibly require a more involved wrenching experience.
