Volks,

Every time I think that I have my 84 Westy ready for prime time, something
else goes wrong.  Now its oil leaks.  I just paid over $300 to have the front
[transmission end] oil seal and 0 ring replaced.  I'm still leaking oil.  It
seems to be coming from the rear [pulley end] oil seal.

Questions:

       1.  Can the rear oil seal be changed without pulling the engine?  If
so how much
            stuff do I have to take off.

       2.  Can someone send me a short step by step to do this job?

       3.  What are other likely sources of oil leaks and how should I
correct them?

I really would like to take the Westy on a trip to the Smokey Mountains next
weekend, but I'll have to be leak free before I go on a long trip.

TIA,
