I want to see what other folks are experiencing on this issue. I have been installing rebuilt waterboxers for the past 18 years from many different vendors, plus I have rebuilt a number of them myself. One of the things I see is that after a month or two, they all start to leak or seep oil here and there. It is usually nothing more than a drop or two on the ground after the van sits overnight. However I have had customers who have expected their engines to have no leaks, no wetness, and now spots on the ground after sitting. I have tried to address these concerns, re-sealing things, etc. but I have never been successful getting a waterboxer engine that is completely bone dry on the bottom (oil). Am I doing something wrong? Also I have never seen a vendor's engine like Boston Bob back in the day or AVP or GEX or other rebuilders who are unknown, that didn't have some leaks or seeps here and there. What is a reasonable expectation for a rebuilt waterboxer? What have you experienced? -- Thanks, Ken Wilford John 3:16 www.vanagain.com
