its not the oil pan, the valve cover or the oil filter. what does it take to do an engine seal and is there some kind of crap I can throw in there to slow down the leak? also I think it was caused by me overfilling with oil if that helps.

Sweet thanks, I figured out a temporary fix though. I pushed one piston out of the cylinder just far enough that it doesn't seal. Then I pushed the brake pedal until I saw some fluid squirt out. I shoved the piston back in and voila!! the brake light went of and I gained ecough pressure to get me mo...

brake bleeding valve

I did the rear shoes on my rabbit today and while I took the shoes of the cylinder burst open and I lost a lot of fluid. I put everything back together and found that I had zero brakes.I need more fluid. I assume I should bleed my braked now because a ton of air must have got in. The problem is the ...

noise does no go away when braking. berrings are a little over finger tight. after going over a bump this afternoon the plate that holds up the spring on my front shock gave out and my front end fell. I thought it was funny how volkswagens hate me so much even though I think they're awesome. rabbits...

Brake noise

I installed new drums and wheel bearings. I removed the fancy wheels (they were rubbing on the springs) the metalic noise is still there but quieter and there is a new noise coming from I believe the left rear wheel. Its kind of a rubbing sound that gets louder and faster as speed increases. I'm out...
