Golf noob questions...

Evening Folks...

Just aquired myself a little run around to get me about cheaply...

MK2 Golf CL 1.6 - F reg with 81k on the clock.

I'm wanting to draw on some of the speciality knowledge here   and hopefully have a couple of questions answered.

1. It looks like there is oil in the air filter box.  Whats causing this and is it anything to worry about ?

2. The brakes feel as though they don't have a servo, ie it takes a bit of a heavy foot to stop (I'm getting used to this), but is it easy enough to just fit one from a higher spec'd model ?

3. On turning the ignition (just the first turn, not actually starting the car) there are a couple of lights flash on the dash, namely the water temp and oil, after a couple of seconds the water temp stops. The oil light continues to flash until I start the engine then it goes off..   Is this OK I've checked the oil levels and they seem fine.

think thats about right as mine does something like that

1. This can be a result of along time between oil changes (the oil could be cack)

3.  As far as I know the oil light will stay on until you start the car because there will be no oil pressure, until the engine is running

hope this helps
