Hi list, I am new to the list {and =
vanagons as
well} this is truly a wonderful resource of information. I think that my =

Westy might have a main seal leak, the area around the trans. {where the =
differential and the motor meet} is wet with oil. It is hard to tell how =
much is
oil, as the trans. pan is seeping as well and blowing back as we drive. =
I am
replacing the trans. pan gasket today, which should give me a better =
idea of
what I am looking at {main seal wise} Anyway my question is, =
if the
main is only leaking a small amount, how long could I put off replacing =
the
seal? we are leaving for vacation in a couple of weeks, and I don't have =
the
time to do repairs before we go. It is a fairly short trip of 500 or so
miles. Any thoughts? thanks for all tips and help from
the list. Alan 85
