Can someone give me some hints where my oil is going! I loose about 1/2 quart every 350ish miles. When I did my clutch I replaced the main engine seal. Per recommendation from multiple folks on this list I put it in dry (after making sure the seat was clean of oil, etc.). I don't burn oil that I have noticed- no smoke at all - ever. There is some oil leaking off the passanger side towards the front of the bus, but it is not wet oil- just dried and grimy. My valve covers are dry (just dried and grimy oil). I guess i should really clean the underside and see where the oil first appears. If anybody has any insights, please pass them this way. With every quart of oil I put in I think that I am just a bit closer to that GTI engine... Thank Matthew 84 weekender (1.9) Moscow, ID
