Default Re: Oil seepage between head and engine block

First! Don't PANIC!! Torque the head first, so called "oil" may be soluable oil or some other anti-rust. Model A head gaskets DO NOT leak motor oil. Then clean old residue and see if it comes back. Same thing on one car I bought. I, personally, always add Bar's-Leaks just to feel good! By the way, I'm NOT an additive addict, as MOST are just a SNAKE OIL or PANTHER PISS money maker. Bill W.
(Torque it cold to 55ft.lbs. Do this at least twice, several days apart, DON'T loosen nuts when retorqueing!) VO
