Hey, I'm baa-aack. Long time, blah-blah... AAR, the Notch is in the driveway at the new house, I tried to fire it up to drive her over here months ago, but.. long story, couldn't get current to the coil after the ignition switch is turned back from the starting position (steering column/ switch malfunction?) but that's another story for another day. The problem at hand is-when I could get enough oil pressure to turn off the oil light while cranking her, I also got a nice puddle of fresh oil on the ground coming from right about the same place as the oil cooler base. I used the red seals in the seal kit I got from the FLAPS (mistake) and buttoned the engine tin on before checking for leaks (another mistake). I need to pull the tin, check my remote oil filter connections, reseal the oil cooler, et al. Jim A., my question to you is: Do you have a FAQ for oil seals-*and*-do you have a piece of foam for around the oil cooler available? This is probably going to take a few to work out all the problems I have but getting all the right equipment and knowledge would make for an easier time.

It's a very good thing to do. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
