<x-charset ISO-8859-1>I had that problem too with my 73 FB. For me, I believe it was because it was running way too rich and the oil was just that thin. It come pouring out the exaust. -----Original Message----- From: Craig and/or Denise Woolston [mailto:cdwoolston@earthlink.net] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 10:31 AM To: VW List Subject: [T3] Oil in Heater Box? All- My sister brought me her '73 Fastback, FI with a serious case of white smoking tailpipe. I did a compression check and every cylinder is 103 +/- 3 psi. I noticed that there is a considerable amount of oil spitting out of the left side heater box at the tailpipe connection (loose connection). Could this really be a blow by oil problem (rings?) with the compression in the "normal" range? The number 3 cylinder had the highest compression. Thanks, Craig !----------------------------! !
