Subject:Diesel valve cover oil leak
From:Sylvain B
Date:Mon, 16 Oct 2000 11:40:31 EDT

I own a 1982 1.6l TD westy and i cant get the valve cover to stop leaking.
I know it is a very common problem with the diesel in part due to the angle
of the engine.
I was thinking about making an extra thick rubber gasket and putting contact
cement glue.
It will probably (surely) make the valve cover removal a little difficult
next time but at least my engine and driveway will stay clean...
Does someone have a better idea?
