Good morning, I went to clean up the engine compartment of my 914 1.7 and I took of the air cleaner cover and there was no air cleaner. Further more there was oil in the air cleaner pan. I was worried something might be wrong so I cleaned all the oil from the cleaner and when I went to order a filter I started reading about an "oil bath" air cleaner. Now I am wondering if there was supposed to be oil in my air filter pan?

Yes. The early cars had oil bath filters. I just use whatever cheap oil I have laying around from FLAPS. There is a fill mark inside. Just don't tip the air cleaner when you are removing or installing.

There was no air filter in the housing. Can you get an Oil Bath for a 1971 at Pelican or do you have a different recommendation?
