Hello,
The carb dashpot on my MKIV has started losing its oil.
I fill it, and a few days later it is totally dry.
Obviously it is leaking past the o-ring that seals
the needle adjusting screw.
Does anyone have advice on fixing this? There
is a little retaining clip that holds the adjusting
net at the bottom of the dashpot, and it looks like
it could be a pain to remove. At least the o-ring
and clip are available (and cheap)...

P.S.: I was surprised that the car ran reasonably well without
any oil in the dashpot...
