There is gas left on the top side of the intake valves when you shut down. This will quickly evaporate from the hot head and condense where it is cool. The hose is a common place for this. Water is a combustion byproduct so there is always water vapor coming out of the crankcase breather. This will also condense in the hose. It will always smell/taste like gas, too. The only real check is to see if this stuff mixes with water or not. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
