Hi
 
Nothing wrong with my Westie either.  Hasn't = ran this well since it was new in 85.
Waiting for the "big leak".  So far = nothing.  Odometer says 92000 miles.
 
Questions: 
What is the = furthest anyone has gone with a wasserboxer 1.9L engine without
a leak so bad it needed fixing? 
And once = it starts leaking how much time/mileage does it take
until it becomes catastrophic?
 
Thanks
 
Alfred
