[Vwdiesel] Oil leak

[Joe]

Actually, my oil leak appears to be on the "front" of the engine, as it's
starting to throw oil off the timing belt.  (I run it coverless)  And the
drip marks on the driveway are primarily on that side.  I usually have to
feed it a quart every 500 miles or so.  Haven't been able to locate it
precisely yet.  I'm afraid it's the crankcase seal, which is more than I can
do... Or rather, more than I am willing to do.

Hi Joe;
    It doesn't seem like it to me. I have probably 50,000 plus on the Dasher
since USLD but remember most all 1.5 and 1.6 engines are going to have old
pumps on them which are bound to leak sooner or later. I have been playing
with Rabbits for close to 20 years and if you resurrect a diesel that has
set for many years the pump may want to leak.
