I think that if the generator doesn't have proper cooling you will be replacing generators every few months. Where is this oil coming from? Or is it possibly water that has gotten sucked into the air intake? There is a drain hole in the bottom of the fan housing, on the seam, that gets plugged up and this will let water collect there sometimes. Clear that out and see if that makes a difference. There really should not be oil in that air stream, so I suggest that you attack the root problem, rather than the symptom. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
