Greetings,

It is a copper crush washer.... with crush in there it forms a gasket
effect.  N0138492 and I think bus depot has them for about $0.30 or your
local vw dealer.

Subject: oil plug

Hi there I am new to this mailist and it is great.   I own a 91carat that a
friend of mine drove down from PA...It is now in hot South Florida and doing
great.  It does have a drop of oil on the bottom of the oil drain plug all
the time....Im thinking it might be missing the washer?

First off is it a washer or a gasket there that needs replaced......or both?

Also this should be a fairly common part to find....or do I have to order
off bus depot and such.

Do you know the part number?

Thanks for all your help

Tim
