Hi All,

I haven't posted much but I do read the emails.�  Also, disclaimer, I'm
not an Vanagon expert though have done some simple wrenching things.�
That said, I have an 89 2.1L tintop (Wolfsburg Blue Start) with a robust
coolant leak.

I had the dreaded red light and pulled over and let it cool down.�  I
wasn't far from home so I restarted it and finished the drive.�  When I
got home I saw it profusely leaking coolant.�  I opened the engine cover
and looked for obvious culprits (and from underneath).�  It seems to be
on drivers side of engine as it seems to be running down from above the
oil cooler.�  The hoses to oil cooler look ok and so do both coolant
reservoirs.�  The head interface looks reasonably good. I cleaned the
engine a bit but still no smoking gun.�  I plan on pressure testing and I
also borrowed a dye light.�  So those are my next steps.

I put a pan underneath the engine to catch the dripping and to my
surprise it continues to drip daily, even when just sitting there.�  So
my question to anyone is what would likely case that?

I'm really hoping this isn't going to be something major.

Thanks

Jim
