I have to conduct a poll for a philosophy class. My poll is whether or not a VW Bug 1600 engine leaks oil. My 1600 on my 1971 Super Beetle leaked oil and my 1600 on my 1974 Super Beetle leaks oil. If you have a
1600 engine on your bug could you e-mail me the year of your car and whether or not your engine leaks oil in any amount. Even a drip.Thanks in advance

If its not leaking you better check to see if you have any oil in it....lol
Mario
Philosophy has come to this?
My parking spot is well marked. In the rear of the spot....while all the other spots have marks in the front. Haha...

It's not leaking but it's marking it's territory :-P

yes, i971 Standard Beetle
Actually the class project is to find out what kind of people would respond. It has nothing to do with whether your 1600's leaks oil or not. (Since everyone knows that they of course leak oil. ("even a drop" per his request.)

How would you know what kind of people have responded? VW owner's?

No engine I rebuild leaks oil. Dry. Period. The secret? a light workout with a long file on the 2 engine block halves before putting them together.........and a thin coat of Yamabond to the 2 halves. Of course, I've only rebuilt 3 engines, in the middle of the 4th right now. I'll let you know how my record is by springtime.
Yes, but they don't normally leak there! They leak from the rear seal, or the drain plate, or the push rod tube seals... I didn't file my case halves, but the case was assembled with OEM case glue, and I think that does an adequate job to keep any oil from getting out of the case along the seam.
My daughter claims that her '73 beetle (Boris) dose not leak oil, he 'marks his spot'.

my 69 bug 1600 does leak a wee bit of oil. used to leak a whole lot of oil..keep working on improving things and now barely noticeable. I try to keep it level.
my 78 westy does not leak any oil on the flat and level and a tiny weeny drip when inclined.
good luck Marco
