[Vwdiesel] broke later style vacuum pump?

[Will Taygan]

I assume to see the oil flowing out the center I've got to take the top
plate off?  I'm just looking through the broken nipple - had it stuck on
with silicone, which made it easy to remove :).

Will pull it in the next day or so, check and clean.  Gotta take the
kids to the fair today with the newly-running 91 ecodiesel :) 

Thanks,

Will in Alaska.
