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.
