Subject:Advice about black oil on back of diesel Vanagon
From:Ken Wilford
Date:Fri, 22 Aug 2014 09:27:42 -0400

OK, here is the deal.  A white 82 diesel Westy.  It has a relatively low
mileage 1.9l NA engine in it and a rebuilt fuel pump with all new
injectors.  The customer is complaining about "black oil" spots on his
back hatch.  The engine isn't leaking or using oil.  I am thinking that
it is soot from the exhaust and that there is really no way to make it
stop, but I thought I would ask the list if anyone has any advice on
this one for me.  I would appreciate it.  The van runs and drives fine
otherwise.  If it wasn't white it would probably not be that much of an
issue.  Really pristine example of an 82 Westy though.
