Hi Everyone, Today I walked outside to get into my van and noticed a small leak from the engine. After closer inspection I have a leaking head. It is a '91 Westy with 37,000 miles. I would think the heads should last longer than that. My '86 Westy had 230,000 miles on it before I replaced the head gaskets. Should I call VWoA. If so who do you talk to? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Charles Michaux '91 Westy (37K - VanGo)
