If this is the original engine case and cooler, then the correct seals are almost certainly in the set. I'll send you my seal FAQ, just in case. > And how do you do it?

It's a fair amount of trouble and, at least in my climate, I have to take a torch to a couple of the cooling tin screws to get them to come loose. Be CAREFUL if you do this; you don't want any gas fumes around. > And, most important, should I stop driving the car till it's fixed? If the leak is small, then just keep a eye on the oil level. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
