  View original topic: Replaced my master...huge power loss
MCBAIN Fri Nov 06, 2009 8:43 pm

I replaced my master cylinder on my 73 westfalia, bleed the system and got them working well. Started the bus for a test drive and noticed a low idol. I proceded to drive around the block and the bus was really low on power and even stalled at a stop sign. My limited knowledge of the bus has me thinking it is a vacume problem but I'm not really sure. To make it worse, when I got back and parked the bus I noticed a few drops of oil had already made their way out of my engine and dripped to the ground. The oil is dripping down at the back of my 1700 pancake engine(~300 miles on the rebuild) in front of the exhaust right around the engine beam that supports the engine to the frame. It's not huge amounts of oil but has me concerned because it has never dripped before.
How bad is it?
Any ideas where do I start?
Thanks
