Friends,
Your not going to believe this. For the past
3 months I've been driving my Vanagon with
the oil light on at idle, buzzer going off at
about 2,000-2,200 RPM. Clearly an oil pressure
problem. Four years ago I had this problem
because of over heating. Little by little
each year this has been getting worst. Now
head gaskets are leaking, and it needs a
rebuild, so I though I would drive it for a while
change the oil and check to see the contents
of metal in the old oil. Well the oil came out like
water: thin and splashed like water. Careful
examination turned up nothing. Oil was black.
It has 2,000 mile on it........The light bulb went on!!!!
FUEL leak!!!! Yep! I've got a bad fuel injector
leaking fuel into the engine. 20-50w was installed
and no more oil pressure problems, for now.
But in a few weeks, after the oil get a good
dose of fuel I'm sure I'll have this problem again!
Add this to the list of things that cause premature
engine oil trouble! I will be testing the fuel injectors
this weekend.....
