Kind of makes you wonder about the design of the oil pump, etc. Lubrication is a little trickier when gravity's not on your side. Kind of interesting. VW content: Last night the rear dome light in my '78 shorted out and blew the fuse. I'm not sure exactly what's wrong with it but the switch is VERY loose and I broke it taking it out (it was cracked already) so I need a new one anyway. Weird. Sean
