The last time my mechanic was tuning up my 16v Scirocco, I mentioned that
the Distributor was leaking oil internally.   How does this happen? Why does
this happen?   Is it Bad?  Really bad?  horrendous?

and how do I get a convertable scirocco like on dirks page?


Thanks in adavence to all!

The seal in the distributor goes out and eventually the oil will kill your 
hall sensor and the car won't run.  This is a bad problem and the only thing 
you can do is start saving for a new distributor $175-250.  Through VW 
Canada, you can order the seals and rebuilt your distributor.  However this 
is a PITA and it will last only a few months.  Right Chris DeLong?
