Oil Leak (1 Viewer)

I have a leak on a 3B. Here is a pic. Any ideas? Drivers side.

Left hand or right hand side? Drivers side is meaningless. Standard fare is to clean them down and watch where the oil seeps from. But that looks like a head gasket if thats the cyl head to block join.

left hand side. Cleaned it up again real good. Still leaking. I do believe it is where the cylinder head meets the block. Here is another pic. Thats the dipstick tube on the right. That is after running about half an hour.

SO it looks like head gasket. I guess my first step would be to re-torque the head?

Oh so maybe it is the head gasket after all... lol. I should check mine.

Its worth a try, but its probably covering a problem that will come back later
