Can you narrow down the region/location of the loose-sounding thing? One of the tricks for doing this is to take some hose -- any hose, like garden hose, vacuum hose, whatever -- that's maybe 1/2" across... put one end up to your ear, and point the other end in close toward various parts of the engine. It becomes sort of a stethoscope for you.
Also, did you look underneath? Both sides? Is it still smoking...? -Greg ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org </x-flowed>
