Classic VW Beetle Bug How To Find Fix Oil Leaks and Drips

[@miltonturner2977]

I have a shop where we work on Jet Skis. We use a product called 3 Bond 1211. We got the info from Kawasaki factory techs that build jet ski engines back in the early 1980's. It's a high temperature Silicone (white) and totally different from the silicone you get for bath tubs etc. Jet skis of the 2 stroke type use this product to seal the engine cases together and it works extremely well. I used the 1211 when I rebuilt a VW Bus 1600 and modified it to a 1941cc with cam (from a 1969 Westfalia Camper Bus). I used it on the oil filter (screen) as that is where most oil drips come from. I also put the 1211 on the threads of the oil filter nuts/bolts (depending on what you have as some people take out the threaded shafts and put in bolts). That keeps the oil from leaking as the nuts won't come loose and thereby seal. Be sure to clean all oil off the nuts/threads then apply a small bit of 1211. The 1211 is easy to break lose on the nuts but won't come loose by themselves. You can also use blue lock tight but never use RED, it will really lock the nuts and you have to use lots of heat to get it to loosen up. I also used the 1211 to seal the engine cases, head gaskets, valve cover gaskets etc. I have had NO leaks at all. When I assembled the engine I put the 1211 on the outside edge of the crankshaft seals (NOT on the inside area). Anyplace a leak can occur is a candidate for 1211. I get an occasional drip from the crank seals but it's very minor. Anyway, it's a great product for sealing most anything. To use it (based on my experience with Jet Ski engine rebuilds), clean both sealing surface with denatured alcohol then wait to dry, then put a thin layer of 1211 on the mating surface and assemble the cases. You will see the 1211 squeeze out of the case joining surfaces, DO NOT wipe it off! Once it sets up, I let it have 24 hours, it's pretty tough and seals completely. The 1211 that squeezes out of the cases forms a small mound inside and outside the cases and along with the 1211 between the cases the seal is complete. If you ever have to rebuild the engine, the 1211 is easy to scrape off with a razor blade, then reapply when you're ready to assemble the engine. I have friends that have Harley Motorcycles and have turned them on to the 1211 product as they drip oil all the time, even the new ones. I had one friend clean his engine seam areas and apply the 1211 over the seam and it worked pretty well, much better than a motor that constantly drips oil... You can even make a gasket out of the 1211. To do that, clean the surfaces then put the 1211 on one side and oil on the other, bolt together and the 1211 will stick to one side (example, the oil filter and ring) and not stick to the other, but it will form fit and seal when you first assemble it. It also works well for convertible tops where I put the 1211 on the top rail where it seals to the windshield, and a layer of oil on the windshield frame. Close the top, clamp it down, 24 hours later you have a perfect form fit seal where the 1211 sticks to the top but not to the windshield frame.

I was able to replace the oil cooler seals on 1971 VW Super Beetle without removing the engine. Just removed the fan house or cover and it was easy to replace the seals . Great video and lots of very helpful information.

[@nicholaspaley876]

My parents bought a new bus in '66. The VW dealer there anyways would always pull the entire motor for a basic tuneup and run and tune them on a stand. Believe it or not. It tells you really how simple the type 1 motors were to work on. Cheers.

[@russlehman2070]

The first time I did a valve adjustment on a bug I though I could get away with reusing the valve cover gaskets. The resulting mess assured that I wouldn't make that mistake a second time.

Cool thing that you recommend getting the bug me video (vol2) Chris, many of the newer beetle peeps don`t get to know the amazing work those guys did when making their bug me video series.

WOW I'm so grateful to have a video that gets straight to the facts. Great great great great video and audio. Thanks Charles Martin

[@classicvwbugs]

The rarest option? hmmm that is a tough one, there are many. The early bugs had so many lil rare options like clocks in the dash or sunvisor, gas gauges, radio options, cig lighters, spare gas tank in spare tire, etc. The list goes on and on. 67s are unique, I am gonna do a video on it.

[@jrenmo]

Thanks for the info. I started my Squareback after about a month parked and I had a huge puddle of oil under left side. Looks like it’s coming from above the push rod tubes like you explained. Thinking it’s the rear main seal. Everything you explained point to that. I guess it’s time to pull my engine. 😒

[@laneralph8154]

Hey Chris I had a fuel pump fail and it got gasoline in my VW oil. I drained the oil and gasoline in the oil . I then installed the new fuel pump . I then added 2.5 quarts of oil in my cc1600 1971 motor in my 1969 convertible. The dipstick did not really show much oil on the stick. Below the lower mark. I am hesitate to add an more oil and I am letter car sit overnight. Coulod I have another problem that is sucking up the engine oil??? No leaks noted.

[@classicvwbugs]

do you have an added oil sump or filter on the engine?

[@laneralph8154]

@@classicvwbugs Yes and I found out that a sump added has 1.5 quarts more capacity. So I am adding some more oil today and hopefully that addresses the issue. This is my 89 year old mother's VW convertible and I have no VW bug experience.

[@laneralph8154]

Started her up with oil showing just under the high line mark on the dipstick. I drove her about four miles and got up to fourth gear. She drove nice and has the old bug motor sounds when shiftiing! Thanks again for the sump info!

[@classicvwbugs]

@@laneralph8154 awesome 👍

[@Bonedadyo]

Great video. Sometimes there are leaks that'll drive you nuts trying to find. Even if you've replaced everything, there could be a hairline crack in the case that got missed during inspection or a shift that caused a gasket to not be seated properly or split. One of the weakest points are the strainer studs due to the soft metal. The palm ratchet is a great idea. I've avoided over tightening mine by using just your thumb, index finger and ring finger on your ratchet instead of gripping with your whole hand. You'll get a cramp before you'll over tighten the stud.

[@sunluver79]

P.S. The '59 was definitely a bug not a beetle. However it seems you're helping a lot of people with your videos and good for you for doing that. Not a lot of people are knowledgeable about the Volkswagen period, whether it's the bug or the beetle. 😁

[@brrrt6666]

Nice and informative video, my dad has a 1996 1302 from Mexico, I suspect an oil leak from the oil cooler would I have to pull the engine to replace those gaskets or is there another way to access?

You never mentioned the oil separator? Did the PCV system system on the older models leak like the ‘72-‘73 models? There’s a straight down tube to the right of the oil pan that always seems to have a constant drip from it. From the oil fill housing.

[@Thinwater]

Thanks, appears I'm in for a rear main seal change. It will also be the first time I've pulled a VW engine. My 16yo Girl wanted a classic bug for first car. I've been getting it ready, thought I had it and it'll run out of oil on one tank of gas, filling it up with oil it'll leave big puddles off tranny side of engine. All my experience is classic V8 Chevy's so your videos are extremely helpfull to me. Done benefited from your heater videos before this.

[@cyprianskiba8768]

On a swing axle, and you have a leak out of the axle ring at the transmission, can you change the seal without removing the transmission? Do you have any videos on that?

[@Volkswagenplanet]

Old days. Still great info for today

[@jonathanferro8211]

Chris I have a question I removed my valve cover and about a quart of oil came out of passenger head i was going to fix the valve cover gasket due to it leaking on my exhaust and ran into this

[@classicvwbugs]

Might need some good permatex or honda bond. But it really should only be put on when you remove the nuts and washers and then torque them back down to really seal it.

[@nickcolabello7592]

does 1965 v w bug have an oil pan gasket

is just me? but watching under a bug engine is addictive.. i like watching the pushrod tubes, the tinware. etc

[@Swimdancer1]

We’ve replace all of the seals you mention and put in new push rod tubes, and tightened up the oil strainer nuts. One small leak seems to be coming from the engine case. What is the fix for that?

[@classicvwbugs]

Did you try tightening up some of the bolts that hold the halves together?

[@jonalv88]

Great video! I have a question maybe you might be able to help me. I have a 71 Super Beetle. Just did an oil change and has no leaks. Every time I drive it and I break hard or I'm at an angle on the street or freeway ramp my oil light turns on. What could that be?

[@Bugster1970]

mine has a leak where the rear main seal is at as it seems and at the tin at the pushrod tubes on both sides the pushrod tubes look all oilly so its the pushrod tubes

[@azmike3572]

Another tip I heard for finding oil leaks is to sprinkle baby powder around suspected areas, start the engine, get it warm, then shut it down. Might then be able to easily see leaks.

[@dariusz879]

I misdiagnosed a leak from the camshaft plug for the main seal because they sit directly in line with each other. If you suspect you have a leak from the main seal, take time to check oil isn't coming from the camshaft plug while you have the engine out and flywheel off.

[@eddierojas2948]

Have you ever used silicone tape on 10 mm bolts to help out with leaks?

I haven't

The little 10mm nuts around the oil cap r leaking oil. Everyday i re-tighten. Today, just 1 nut was leaking. So, im getting less and less leaks. But, im applying more pressure with my ratchet wrnch then usual. The gaskets r new, and new oil filter. Did i miss something? Any input?

[@themadburleigh]

hi chris i have a 1974 bug and i have just very recently replaced the rear main seal and after i put the engine back in and drove it the next day i looked under the car and there is oil coming from the same place as before could this be the gearbox seal leaking need to know because i have just replaced all the clutch and i dont want it covered in oil like my last one. love the vids very helpful keep up the good work from Sam United Kingdom

[@jordanfanning1407]

Hey Chris, my 1600 seems to leak from the nuts around the oil pump plate. Would it be feasible to try and fix this by getting a new gasket to put between the pump and plate, as well as adding new self-sealing nuts?

[@classicvwbugs]

Thats a good start my friend, I would do that. But also look at the plate when you take it off, sometimes they warp.

[@Sheldogg23]

You ever figure out what this issue was? My 65 Baja, which has never offered more than the occasional spot, opened up like a Jack Lalanne juicer this afternoon...right after I spent an hour washing it and shining her up, of course. It's not leaking unless it's running. Figure it's gotta be a gasket of some sort that has given way... Any advice would be appreciated.

[@jorologo]

The size of the seal was just a wee bit too big fitting within the rim of the Valve Cover Box. It must of twisted while I was replacing the cover. The heat coming of the J pipe may of done the damage. I was Smoking like Whiley Coyote with his Ass burning. I cleaned it up, used one of the better old seals and applyed good heat and oil resistant moly bond silicon. All is good for now. Went for A Ride this afternoon and went well. All I need to understand is Cork or Rubber- which is better ?

Hello Chris, I have a question. Recently I've had the valve cover gaskets replaced after noticing a leak on my 73 Super Beetle. After getting the car back, I now hear a knocking noise when going up inclines that I never heard before? Any feedback would be appreciated.

[@miltonturner2977]

How much oil leaked out of the engine? If it was a lot, you might have damaged the engine by running it short of oil without realizing it. The VW air cooled engines don't have much oil when full so when some leaks out it can create a problem...

[@derekobidowski7574]

i have a 68 beetle with an odd oil leak it leaks behind the crankshaft pulley mainly at highway speed as its getting the distributor, generator, the pulley the rear cover plate, and the inside of the decklid covered in oil is there any fix for this? the motor is not original its a later 1600 dual port originally 1967-1969 vw type 1 beetle and Karmann Ghia use the 1500 single port engine. as i checked all the areas for oil leaks and were fine as this problem is behind the crank pulley it leaks when its at highway speed

[@chipcruze1585]

I have a 1970 Bug, and have isolated the oil leak thanks to your tips, and it appears to be the rear main seal. The oil level has stayed pretty consistent on the dipstick, so it doesn't seem to be too bad. How important is it to fix it, and what are the consequences of just letting it go? Thanks

[@classicvwbugs]

If it is just a couple small dribbles each day, it is ok, but if it is like size of a lemon or apple the stain on the floor, then I would say you will need to remove the motor.

[@chipcruze1585]

What happens if I wait too long? Is it damaging the engine?

[@classicvwbugs]

Only if you are losing lots of oil. As long as you keep on the level of oil, you should be ok. But if it is gushing out, you need to fix that.

[@chipcruze1585]

Not gushing, but certainly worth addressing. Can you tell me how much I should expect to pay someone to do this? I'm moderately capable. How difficult is it to do myself? (I do not have a sophisticated shop to work in.)

[@classicvwbugs]

If you want to do it yourself, pick up the bugmevideo dvd on motor removal, he shows you how to do it yourself and do the seal. Expect to pay someone a few hundred bucks to do it.

[@jorologo]

Hi Chris, After 5yrs I'm my bug a bit of an overhaul. Just today I changed the Valve Cover Box Seal. Sealed and clipped together. Took "Him" for a run and was leaving behind a trail of white smoke caused by the degreaser used to clean the tappits and box. When I examined the new (EMPI) cork seal it had become all twisted an distorted. What do you think has happened to cause this ? I am now considering to use new rubber seals which i've ordered on line. Pls help me outta this situation.

[@adrilue3]

oh and another thing, for the later much later bugs, they have oil filters on them, and my engine almost got ruined, cause i didnt notice but my header was close to it, it like melted and started spitting oil all over my engine, and obv i lost all 3 liters in like a few blocks, i luckily realized on time, but thats a good pointer too, beware of oil leeks from the oil filter :)

Whats happening is after about 10-20mins of driving the oil light comes on and the car starts to run a bit rough unless i hold the clutch in and after I turn the engine off there is this burning smell. Would like to know what you think of this. Thnks for the vids.

Just glad I dont have to work around a bunch of plastic crap. 74' super beetle. Please help.

Talking about the valve cover gaskets correct? Well, EMPI stuff is kinda aftermarket, haha, so the size of the gasket might be wrong for the cover. Why it is twisted is beyond me. I mean... was it hitting the rockers while the car was running? ugh.

What made the front main seal leak? Thrust bearing beat to death? If so, guess what happens next, after installing new seal???

[@russlehman2070]

Crankshaft endplay is a common problem on high mileage air cooled VW engines. That will usually wreck either front or rear seal, and new seals won't last very long. The only thing that will really fix it is an overhaul, as the rear main bearing is usually gone, and often the aluminum that supports it is hammered, which means machine shop work on the case, or even a new case if it's worn too badly.

[@fisquid]

Hmm. Fluid-containing objects at the front of the car are: fuel tank, battery, steering box, brakes, windshield washer. That's it. The only one that contains actual oil is the steering box. And it doesn't contain a whole lot of oil, so if it's leaking noticeably you should prob check it out. If you have been leaking enough brake fluid to notice spots on the driveway, then you've long since lost your brakes and crashed and died by now. And if you're still alive and the steering box isn't already bone dry, and the substance is oily-not-watery, then you must have a fuel leak. Check the lines from the tank.
