Your breather is blocked, so pressure can build up in the crankcase and this forces oil out along the rear of the crankshaft. the oil gets flung out by the fan and you see the result at the generator cooling hole. Is this engine the original '70 one, or is it a later one with TWO plastic plugs on top of the breather box? - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
