Fuel Pump

Post by STEPHEN ONEILL »

Morning All

I have just bought a VW T25 2L air-cooled Camper Van, this is my first time buying a vehicle like this, so I am very new, I have noticed a  problem with what i believe is the fuel pump, when i start the engine there is oil coming out of the the pipe,then when I stop the engine it continually dips for a bit then stops, I can only assume this is some sort of outlet pipe?  I have checked the oil and notice it has been over filled, tried to explain as best I can, can anyone suggest anything please, thanks in advance Steve

Someone who really knows will be along I’m sure, but i seem to remember the petrol pump on a CU has a oil drain pipe hanging down , by design
