That was my first thought -- that it would only leak through if the oil level was above the height of the bottom of the cylinders, but I suppose that with the oil splashing around inside the case, there's a good possibility that unless the car is totally level, some oil could "rest" on the bottom of the cylinder wall or drip down off the inside of the piston and onto the cylinders as the car sits, and seep through the rings (especially if the oil is hot) and get blown off when you start the engine again? How's that for a run-on sentence? :) Is this possible? ===== Aaron Clow - http://www.tiserves.com/VW/ '71 FI AT Square - On the Road '71 FI AT Fasty - Off the Road '71 AT Square - the Parts Bin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
