Default YB oil weep

Hi

I have a rather heavy oil weep exactly at this place.
When starting from clean after only 10km the oil trace is very clear.
Strange as there is no oil chanel on this side , not ?
Blown and change headgasket or first to try and retighten the head bolts ?
This engine has never been opened.

Grts

Could be tracking down from cam seals as this is a weak point on most cossies.

I would not advise tightening of head bolts as there stretch type.

Regards

Hi
Sadly not.
I have cleaned everything and looked at the oil trace and the oil comes out between block and head right on that corner.

See the ARP's get a mention again they should be bloody banned...

Only use a WRC gasket with block and head faces re machined.

I would go for a small turbo escos gasket and std headbolts.
