ah qvestions, qvestions and more of them! haha
when i first purchased my kombi roughly 3 yrs ago (its a 1973 model) i had to degrease my engine coz there was oil all over it.
i had a look the other day and its all back!
i'm not real sure if this is a problem. just wondering if this is normal for kombi's or VW's to have oil and grease all over the engine (ie when you crawl under the car, there is grease everywhere - not in the engine compartment when you open the engine door).
should i degrease again? or is this normal?
or do i have a leak somewhere? (I don't go thru that much oil, so i didn't think it was a problem. i go thru a fair amount of fuel tho)
thanks peoples!
A little bit of weeping is kinda acceptable... but excess may mean your rear main crank seal is leaking, or the oil cooler is leaking (usually because the seals between it and the engien case are perished) Degreas and see if you can track down the leak
too much grease can lead to higher oil temps - by insulating the engien case

Keep it clean man! It will love you for it, if its dirty it cant cool properly. I clean mine at least once a month, I make sure there is no gunk at all on it. A clean motor is a happy motor!

You only need two tools
Wd40 if it don't move and it should
Duct tape if it move's and it shouldn't
some times you get excess blowing out from the over flow or breather. i have gotten a filter and put on the breather to keep the mist down. otherwise you get a fine coverage everywhere. but mines T1 so i dont know about mounting on yours.
how is your bus anyway, did you sort your prob?
