keron Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 is it from the headgasket or from rocker cover gasket? as these leak all the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark newman Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 it don't look like it . It would be good to know if oil can not come out of the head gasket , before we start pulling it all about again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 it is a possibility, especially with high power cars as the heads can lift. what hg and head bolts are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 You sure it's coming from around the gasket? I'd clean the area up and then look for the leak, could be cracked head or block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Might be head lift, is it fully mapped now? What head studs are in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 No friday Mapping with race fuel, and Nos. Can't see the oil leak being anything serious if it's just been on low boost till now, give it a good clean up and pin point the leak.
