Kris,

Check with Jim & Ray at Import Service Center.  They're on Indian School
Road around 17th St. (just west of AZ51).  They're competent and honest
- a good combination, I think).  Phone is 602-265-6412.  Tell then I
sent you and I say Merry Christmas, etc.

Subject: Vanagon repair in Phoenix AZ area?

I looked at the recommended repair list. I searched the archives.
Nothing
I could find.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a vanagon repair shop in Phoenix?

We've been on the road a lot and she's been doing well, but right before
we hit Phoenix tonight I looked in my rearview window and thot, gee
that's
weird to have condensation on the back window and not the front. Well,
when we stopped at my spouses parent's house (only 15 miles or so later)
and got out I went around back to look at the condensation thing. It is
oil. There is oil leaking from the box near the back axel (square box
that
has 'fins'...drips coming from 4-5 points). (sorry, I'm not super well
trained on the engine stuff...I don't know if this is oil, transmission
fluid or what)...thoughts on what it is, and suggestions on where to
bring
it appreciated. We're supposed to be heading back to Oakland on the 3rd
of
January.

The only thing I knew to check is fluid levels. Everything is at fine
levels...

Thanks,
Kriss
