Yeah, I hate to have to disagree with the expert engineer and resident VW guru.

Don't follow Will's advice. It's costly, a lot of work, and not necessary.

Well, it sounds like there's multiple things possibly that need to be done. If
it were me I'dd pull it and replace it with a rebuilt unit or have yours
rebuilt. The problem is that after 50+ years it's probably time anyway.

Here you go James. Step by step by Hazet guy on the Samba. And the seal is
available from Bus Boys for less than
$5. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_search.php?search_keywords=Bus+Steering+Box+Seal+Replacement
Also, here is the seal

Has anyone had experience rebuilding a steering box on a splitty? Mine is
leaking like a sieve.
I was told by a local mechanic that there is no literature available on the
size of the seals in the box and the best way to do it would be to take it
apart and source the parts after removing them to get measurements.
Believe it or not this is the last thing I need done on this Bus to drive it
long distance!
