My '89 Westy is leaking ATM fluid at a pint a month and I want advice
from those who have dealt with this problem.  As I see it:
1.  I can wait till it quits working.
2.  I can get my unit fixed.
3.  I can get a rebuilt unit.
4.  I can get a used unit.


I have 137K miles on the van, owned it since new, and plan to keep it.
On my previous '71 Westy, 360K miles and 19 years--I get attached.


What is the current collective wisdom and suggestions?  Are there any
outstanding VW/Vanagon mechanics in the San Francisco area?


Thanks in advance,
Bruce.
