ubject: push rods

Hi,

I have a report of oil leaks from the Driver's Side Push rod tubes on
a bus I am looking at, is this a big deal?

I get the impression the VW aircooled is very easy to fix.

I already have a 1995 VW Jetta TD.

Fixing the pushrods should be easy with an expandable tube. Having said that, it's my personal opinion that the type 4 air cooled
engines are a nighmare in all respects.
