I changed the oil in my bug today, put everything back together, wiped the underside and went back inside the house. Came back outside 3 hours later and saw a couple drips of oil. Is that normal?new gaskets and strainer too.

Since the drips don't line up with the plate, maybe you spilled a little bit when filling and it just worked down around the cylinder tins?

If there is notmabigger puddle under there in the morning I go with the idea that there was some spill over. Possibly from the draft tube.
