I have a 1980 VW Rabbit diesel with 80000 miles that
going up a hill around 60 starts burning the oil from
the crankcase.  Lifting your foot from the petal does
not decrease the power.  Also, I am putting out a hell
of s smoke screen.  If I put my foot on the brake and
reduce the speed to 55 it will stop.  I understand the
79 & 78 moels had the problem.

Any comments or solutions?  Anybody in the Whipany, NJ
area tha you recommend as a mechanic for the diesel?
