Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hey All.. Any suggestions on a driver side small (5-6 drops after shutting down) oil leak?? I have pulled the tin on my 88 and it is seeping from over the topside of the second pushrod tube. I cant seem to find the source. any typical leakage sources?? It looks like the sender has agood seal and the seals on teh pr tubes are not leaking. Has anyone heard of a pushrod cracking?? or having a pin hole?? No visibile damage to it indicating such but it has me stumped.. additionally.. I found that the P/O stripped out one exhaust bolt hole at each end of that head.. anyone have an easy solution to heli coiling the hole without dissambly of the AC setup?? thanks tom
