So...if these check valves fail, how do I know? If I'm getting oil in the vacuum lines is this indicitive of check valve failure? How can oil get into the vacuum system unless there is a rip in the diaphram? Every other time the diaphram has ripped I've gotten oil in the air cleaner housing and none in the vacuum lines. I'm stumped.

(FWIW, the shocks are fairly new, and springs seem good.) having the weight farther back makes the same weight have more of an effect on the cars attitude; to the point that if i put the carboys at the front of the trunk it doesn't make as much of a difference as if i put them at the back. cheers! e '85 300D - 146K miles B100, in Berkeley
