I put this thing up on a lift to get a better view of things and it appears there is a Very Bad oil leak coming from the head gasket on the passenger side (assuming that the head gasket is between where the coiling fins meet together) I am not a mechanic just fairly mechanically reclined)..lol A Bentley no...A Haines manual to boot. Bentley costs about 60 bucks and will have to wait til next month...no more money left in this month's budget. :( Um I am loosing alotta patience with this thing...I need it as a daily driver for two weeks and then I will have one of my others outta the shop. I have reached the end of my rope. The car runs but feels like it it is pulling a load of something ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Adney" <jadney@vwtype3.org> To: <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 10:11 AM Subject: Re: [T3] 71 Fasty Engine help?
