1969 VW Beetles do not, nor should they need, starter gaskets. If it's leaking around the starter, it's because one of the two seals back there is leaking.

You must first figure out what oil is leaking out. Crawl under the car and pick up some of the oil on one of your fingers. Then get out of there, open the engine cover, pull the dipstick and wipe it on another one of your fingers. If the same oil is on both fingers, the engine's main seal is leaking. If they're different, the transmission seal is leaking.

Pray it's the transmission seal if you don't have an impact wrench because changing the engine seal can't be done without one.

What needs to be placed in the sentence your fathers 1969 Volkswagen beetle?

Something to explain why you mentioned it. "Your father's 1969 VW Beetle" is a sentence fragment. If we were writing a story with dialog, and one character asked something like "which car are we taking to the fair?" another could come back with "your father's 1969 VW Beetle." but you'd write it like this: "Which car are the police looking for?" asked Mary. "Your father's 1969 Volkswagen Beetle," said John. If you're not doing dialog, something like... "Your father's 1969 Volkswagen Beetle was stolen last night and is now in the police impound lot." would be good.
