It is not a head gasket leak, nor a routine maintenance thing. My father was
a volks/porshe/audi dealer for 30 years, and has spent countless hours both
at home and in the shop trying to figure out the problem. He is not going to
spend money to put in a new engine.

If someone wants to purchase it whole - it is located in Syracuse NY. But
contact me quickly because it is going for parts otherwise.
