Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Dumb question.   Can you raise the steering column on the '79 Beetle.  For some weird reason, I don't remember the steering wheel virtually sitting on my lap, I thought it was up higher.

All you can do is use spacers and/or a smaller steering wheel.

    I just bought a vw 2006 beetle. I noticed it has started leaking oil. If you are standing in front of the vehicle the leak is on the left hand side. It is about middle of the left side.
