It's true! It all fell out a little hole in the back!! Anyway, recently stopped & noticed large pool of oil under car (several litres/quarts). It just happened apparently when parking & didn't lose oil while running, so didn't overheat or run dry or anything like that. No unusual noises, either. On checking, couldn't get a good look at it, but could reach up behind bumper/body in vicinity of below oil pump(?), there's something missing leaving about a 1" diam hole. Had her towed to local garage, they can't figure out the part that's missing (& they agree that will probably have to drop the engine to replace it even if they could figure out what it's supposed to be). Anyone know what seems to have blown out from this 84 1.9 H2O engine?????? From a bad photocopy of a Bentley page, it seems like maybe this is the place for the 0.9 bar pressure switch, but Bentley notes that this is for 1986 & later models only. If you have any idea, let me know, thanks, the garage doesn't know what to do with her! TIA, Lloyd 84 1.9 Vgon "Moby"... still strugglin'
