Does the engine need to be removed to change the seals?
Any and all thoughts are appreciated! |

Don’t forget the possibility of leaking galley plugs (circled) or the gasket behind the oil filter (arrow)
All these look like leaking oil cooler seals from the bottom. The idea that you’re having to scope out these possibilities (both of the repair procedure and where it might be coming from) doesn’t bode well for the shop |

Way out in country. The shop I use is a VW bug restoration/repair specialist. They do some very good work. He's been good about educating me but has told me he is not a specialist in type 4 motors. This is why I come to you guys now and then for advice and it is greatly appreciated. |
