I'm not new to the air-cooled engine (I've rebuilt/restored my fair share of VWs), but I am new to the type 4 engine. I have an oil leak...or two...or three. I have recently replaced the push rod tube seals and the valve cover gaskets, but she continues to drop oil everywhere. It doesn't seem to be a terrible leak, but any oil leak is too much for me. What else are some trouble spots for these motors?
BTW, this is a stock 1.7. However it sat for some time (about a year) without being run and I'm not too sure about the maintenance that was done prior to my purchasing the car. My guess is that an engine drop is in my future, but maybe I will get lucky. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |
