API Engines
I've got a bloody annoying oil leak at the moment that i need to get sorted as soon as i get back off the honeymoon
as far as i know it's the seal between the gearbox and sump (so i've been told by the local numpty dealership) however it could be anywhere
At the moment it's dripping oil onto the exhaust causing plenty of smoke and a lovely burning smell, i bodged a bit of a heat shield onto it for the time being but it's far from ideal.
I was originally considering scoobyclinic, i like the sound of their prices
and i've heard plenty of good reviews but it's a little far for me to travel if it's going to take more than a day to sort out.
Not sure if powerstation would be interested, it's only a sport/GL and i don't know if they deal with this type of thing
So i thought i'd give API a go, heard a couple of good things about them but i thought i ask for more comments, what are their labour rates like ( i'm not made of money unfortunatley
) and if it's going to be more than a day do they supply a courtesy car
obviously i'll be contacting them so i'll be able to find out most of this info but i thought i'd get a few independant views as well
cheers

btw any other recommendations for the midlands (worcester/cheltenham etc) area will be greatly recieved

Yes Powerstation would be interested..
It's not just the flash stuff we work on.
We've got a VW Camper in at the moment having a major overhaul.

We'd be happy to sort you, Problem may be our workload - we're solid for about 3 weeks at the moment. I'd expect it to be a rocker cover gasket but then again it could be a cam seal or even a crank seal. Time for the job largely depends upon what it might be.
Perhaps an idea would be to pop along to us for a looksee and once we know the extent of the problem we can decide what's best.

cheers guys
i won't be able to get it sorted for about 3-4 weeks anyway, off on honeymoon for a fortnight in a week or so
Personally powerstation would be easier for me as it's only 15mins down the road, but i'll give you both a call and see what's what after the wedding
Thanks again Andy and David
