What can i do to the crankshaft and parts on it so that oil doesn't leak from case any more?

have the case checked for cracks, and the main bearing sadles to see if it needs align boring and or you may even need a new case if it has been bored before or the rear main thrust is beat out of the case too far.

otherwise nothing you can do to the crank or rods to alleviate oli leakeage from the case... you should however have them checked by a machine shop familiar with VW machine work to see if they are re-usable or shoyuld be traded in for re-manufactured ( when you get the case checked out, take all your parts and have a pro inpsect them)
