That really doesn't help find an oil leak because the thing you finally realize about oil leaks is that they are CLEANER than the dirty stuff around them. Thus they are often actually harder to find on a clean engine. Look for places where the oil has washed away the dirt, leaving a clean path which is not particularly noticable as oil. Give us some idea of where you see the oil dripping. Are you needing to add oil? - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
