Hi all, The push rod seals on my '81 van are leaking oil. It doesn't seem too bad a job to replace them, but the guy in the shop reckoned that they start to leak again after a few thousand miles. (They were sold out, so I don't yet have the replacements) So... 1) Is it really worth changing them? (I get a new oil spot on my driver each time I start the engine, but does it get worse?) 2) Are there any tricks to prevent them leaking again? TIA, -- Malcolm Malcolm Bebb bebb@embetech.demon.co.uk Tel/Fax (44) 01202 772162 Test Solutions ATE User Documentation Mobile 0468 377456
