the Vanagon I had leaked so much from the pushrod tubes, I bought fleet grade dino by the 5 gallon pail , still miss it though
I kept the watercooled Vanagon for 21 years - my only regret was that the sunroof models and the red ones were gone from the dealers, docks, and ships by the time I scraped enough $ together to buy a new one.
My orange/cream aircooled one drank like a Buick and had the pick-up of a toddler dragging a couch. Kept it one year. Shoulda bought the Champagne Ed. baywindow beside it on the dealer floor. Same engine, cheaper, less weight.
All-time fav. VW's were the newish baywindow I owned after Vietnam and a white base model Rabbit in the mid 70's.
