Oil leak.



Back again,

About the '87 5kq.  After they did the PS rack the car had a pretty good oil
leak.  I cleaned it down with brakleen and it appeared the front seal leaked.

We took it in as the job was warranty and covered by warranty.  I just picked it
up and they said the leak was the oil pump.  They tightened the oil pump.  I
looked confused for sure.  They said the pump bolts are on the outside.  I'll
check Bentley but I'm sure you guys know anyway.

Loose oil pump bolts on the outside causing a leak?  Make sense?

I'll be watching this one.  An Audi wise friend had said that maybe they hadn't
put sealer on the bolt that holds the tensioner/ildler pulley.  It can leak oil
if not sealed.

Whatever, what do you think.

Thanks
