I have a 1990 westfalia that I am replacing the water pump on and have 
noticed oil leaking from around the crankshaft area. I am considering 
pulling the crank pulley and trying to isolate the leak while I am in 
this area. Are there any seals that routinely begin to leak that might 
not be too difficult to replace while I am in the area. Where have 
volks seen leaks on their vehicles in this area. My engine has about 
170k on a rebuild and any leaking fluid drives me nuts. I am thinking 
maybe an oil pump seal, oil pressure sender, crank seal or pushrod 
tubes. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. This vehicle was a daily 
driver and I am giving it a thorough  once over to get it back on the 
road for camping and festival season.
