Hi:

I'm that gal with the 90 Vanagon 146,000 miles, etc...After a winter
requiring a new battery, distributor and several hoses, I now have an
oil leak somewhere that is pooling in places on top of the transmission
(is that what it is?) or whatever on the parts of the engine block that
is closest to me as I look into it, and dripping pretty bad...so bad
that all the oil flys up and greases my back window and rear hatch.  I
am not experiencing anything mechanically (yet) but was wondering what
you might recommend.  My mechanic seems to fix one thing at a time and
he has been aware of this leak but not very concerned.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Suzanne
