Push rod tube oil leak

Hello,I have one push rod tube that is leaking oil.It's leaking at the seal on the engine side.I would like to fix it but I don't want to pull the head.Are the spring loaded tubes or adjustable tubes any good?I want a quality part.I know a lot of the parts that they are selling for these cars are so cheap that they almost break before you can get them on the car.My engine is a 1300.Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Gary

the spring loaded tubes are they plastic if so no way i had them and they melted.the adjustable tube were not the greatest they leaked by the adjusters the ones i had. what a waste of money.but remember the last time i own a vw was in 93 they could have made them better now.
