Subject: oil leak update

Hi All !
I have a 1985 1.9 ,4 speed vanagon that is pouring out oil at a very
rapid pace!!!
I started up my van today and ran it for about 5 minutes or so and
noticed that the oil light came flashing on. When I checked the oil
level, It was down almost 4 quarts!!
My mechanic is on vacation for the next week or so. Meanwhile, a
gentleman wrote to me and asked me if my flywheel  had an o-ring on it.I
won't know until the motor is removed for it's third time!
Can anybody tell me the correct way to install the shims,seal,
o-ring,flywheel,etc. so my mechanic(or future mechanic) can get my
vanagon back on the road again?
ps. I do not own a Bentley....nor does my mechanic.   Thanks for all of
your time!

Kevin
