You may've seen this but here's an ETKA or similar drawing for a US market 1981 2.0: image link: https://volkswagen.7zap.com/ImgsWatermark/images//Bilder/004/004010000.png page with part numbers etc: https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/usa/vanagon/va/1981-4/1/115-10000/ Long shot theory: a poorly installed O ring at a push rod tube came loose and fell into sump? Or, O ring was installed at drain plug to help quell a leak? I'd inspect the drain hole threads at case regardless. Neil.
