I'm Now owner of a MKII

["Kris Rayner" <veritech@fix.net>]

Well, I boughtt the MKII that I posted about earlier.  It's silver 
with black leather interior, AC, just loaded.  The owner was driving 
it and had the oil light come on.  He pulled over and oil was coming 
out of the coolant overflow.  It was torn down, but no cracks were 
found in the head, so they assumed it was the block.  Well, I've 
never heard of the 1.8 blocks cracking, but I thought "things 
happen".  Well, in talking with my dad, he said that the oil sandwich 
adapters are known to crack, leaking oil into the cooling system.  
Anybody else heard of this??????  Sounds believable enough.  I'm 
towing it over this Sunday.  The body is perfectly straight with no 
rust.  Best of all, I picked it up for only $300!!!  But back to the 
question I asked, has anybody else had problems with those adapters 
leaking??
