My Poor Bus
Some know about my 1970 VW campmobile bus. Manufactured in 1969 and outfitted in 1970 its a work of german art.
well, i worked on the valves putting them in spec and the bus started up just fine. after a quick tweek on the carb while GreenBear was over, I packed the family up and headed to Thomson, about 35 miles away to lookat a fish store. it was a great trip... until the way home.
the most important light on the dash (1 of 3) lit OIL PRESURE! oh shit. I pulled over and discovered that the engine was almost out of oil, it was missing 2 quarts of 4. i had a half quart in the cabinet and so i put that in and slowly worked my way back to the interstate. i managed to get to a gas station and buy 3 quarts, filled it up and tightened 2 bolts on the case. i drove home. It seems to not be leaking, so i hoipe that fixed it. What a scare. I hope my baby is ok.
