Default oil leak on 305E exhaust manifold
Hey guys - I am not too mechanically inclined where engine internals, rebuilding etc are concerned, so to some of you this may sound like a dumb question. Take a look at the attached pics of an annoying oil leak I have on the front of my drivers side exhaust manifold - not coming from the head bolt, or valve cover - appears to be coming from around the exhaust port itself? Just wondering if this means I need to pull and rebuild the heads or what? Any insight will help
