About a month ago I posted that one of the oil return tubes was leaking a bit. So I was going to take it in and have it done as my sixty year old construction back ain't as good as it once was. Plus the boys could have them all done in about two hours.
The car has 75k miles and has not been driven over 300 miles in a year and half.

In the mean time I started to drive the '84..........the oil return tube stopped dripping.

When someone mentions drive em'. They aren't kidding.

Not a lot of excuses for not driving it in SD.

i just talked to a guy that said when the pump is on the oil doesn't have time to sit and leak because its always moving, i guess the way the flat 6 is designed

Mussberger...........its 80 today. The best time in SoCal for weather is now.

It would take a good reason NOT to drive mine. The weather in SD is just about always great. Some mornings are cooler than others, which I enjoy as well, but there aren't too many bad ones in these parts.

Did someone mention our local roads?

I try to drive mine at least 2-3 times a week! Especially now that it's cold. I love how fast I can get heat. My truck (diesel) takes a long time to heat up.

yea those heat inductors can blow some super hot air since they open right at the engine, but can smell like burning oil from the slow drip at hot temps.

Mine always leaks less when I put it away for the winter rainy season than when I take it out in the Spring. That goes for all air cooled Porsches. Come to think of it, same for the VW.
