I haven’t driven the Westy in a couple of days just had some things to do that required the other car. I noticed that my driveway was getting all spotty with the leaks and such from the Westy. I wasn’t too concerned because I KNEW I had a fuel leak, which has been fixed and I KNEW that the Westy sweats out some oil… no big deal right.
Now I noticed a spot under the front of the vehicle. Its kinda right in the middle just in front of the tires. I crawled under the front to have a look quickly yesterday. I couldn’t find the source but it looks like a clear – yellowish liquid that’s coming from somewhere. It’s also thick. I have no idea what the hell it is.

*****Added some pictures to give you an idea of where it's leaking from (you can see the spot on the driveway) and the approximate colour of it... yellowish. It seems to be collecting anddripping from the towing loop on the underside**** Have an appointment to take it in to Concept1 here in Calgary on Tuesday. Grrrrrr

I am starting to wonder if I made a huge mistake buying this thing. Not only because I haven’t got a clue how to fix anything but also because I don’t have a garage, nor the tools to get in there and attempt anything myself. I can’t really afford to keep taking it in to the local VW shop here and getting things fixed. On the other hand, I have to get things fixed if I want to keep using it… I'll try and get some pictures of it later and post them see if any of you have any suggestions.. (well my ONE faithful reader anyway) :)
Mmmmh, I'm glad to have seen your blog. That sounds like brake fluid. You should look into replacing wheel cylinders and maybe even replacing all shoes and pads(depending on braking style of your bus, mine has disc front, and drums back) If my guess is right one of your steel lines might be rearing for a replacement or one of the rubber hoses have a leak.
ReplyDeleteYou did not make a mistake buying this thing. Its going to be a labor of love but eventually it will run pristine! I'm in the third year of my bus, I am short on cash so it took a while to build up my engine 2110cc, redo brakes including servo , paintjob, and much more that I did myself for the learning experience. I have my father to help me now but when I move to Colorado it will be just me.
