Hi,
Just been looking around my camper doing some jobs and noticed this very slight oil leak. [img][IMG=http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/8023/xdgy.jpg][/img]
Any ideas what is leaking? I am thinking the gearbox may have a very slight leak.

Re: Slight oil leak
I can't tell from that could be the crankshaft oil seal.
Your pushrod tube covers are missing too

Re: Slight oil leak
Are the pushrods the shiny bits to the side of the picture?
Are the covers vital?

Re: Slight oil leak
VW put them there for a reason ... if a stone flicks up and dints a tube against the rod it will wear through and you lose your oil ...
