I have an '85 Vanagon GL 1.9, 189k miles, 40k on the rebuild, and on two occasions I've found an anti-freeze/oil mixture in a very small puddle underneath the motor...It usually leaks some oil, maybe needs a quart every 3 weeks or month, but these are the first times I've noticed the anti-freeze also; it doesn't seem to be leaking much, but I'm wondering what kind of time frame I'm looking at before things get bad. Strangely, I check every day and have only found evidence on the ground twice. Also, is there a short-term fix besides Bars Leaks or another leak stopper? Also I'm looking for some later model interior parts, and am curious about the jumpseat offered by Bus Depot, how it bolts in, how big it is, etc. (Although it looks like interior upgrades will now need to be put off for awhile.) Thanks! Joe Trussell Denver,CO 85 vanagon GL 86 scirocco 16v ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com |
