When you loosen the drum, the oil can seep out past the gaskets and O-rings. This should stop when you put things back together, but you want to make sure that dirt didn't fall down there when things were loose, or the seals may not seal again. There is a commonly available seal kit that has the seal, gasket and O-rings if you want to replace everything. > If it is a problem does it mean I need to replace the gasket on the > housing and both O rings, oil seal and oil thrower?? Except for the seal, I only replace them if they are damaged. You should inspect the lip of the seal to see if it is close to worn out; if so, replace it now. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
