I took a couple of cans of break cleaner and blasted the whole engine under the tin. Its like a freekin power washer in a can. The under cariage is like concourse clean now. I started the engine and found a little oil leaking from the oil pump, and the oil cooler dripping like a blown valve cover gasket.

The question is, coolers, what should a grown boy get for his beater? I can go to any VW mag or the bird board and get somthing but what would you do if you started over again? A multi pass cooler with a fan was installed by the PO on the driver's side ahead of the engine mount. All very nice high end hoses and no cable clamp deals. I'm thinking of putting it in the front of the car and cutting my front bumper. You all seem to have better ideas than I so; what say you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
