I hate oil dripping from any engine and one of the many reasons I converted my Speedster to Subaru power. I have own at least 15 type 1 Vw engine vehicles and many Corvairs and Corvair powered cars. every single one of them leaked oil. I love my Subaru engine. It is bone dry. So I understand how good it feels to have the oil drip issue defeated. Bravo!

Jimmy...just for laughs I'll submit this one "triple" photo of my only Corvair conversion mating a VW bus mountain gearbox onto the Vair. Oddly enough the bolt pattern was a dead match except for two locations that needed only slight modification. The idea was conceived by Bud Rinker and it was not a good one. I flew this for 36 hours before failure. Straight over to Lycoming after that.
