ever since my 1G head to 2g head swap there has been a small puddle.. not really a puddle of oil right where the exhaust manifold meets the rest of the motor.. its not leaking from the valve cover. I just cleaned it all up and replaced the gasket and it looks spotless.. where could this oil be coming from? als its such a small amount that none ever reaches the driveway..

Did you put RTV on the bottom center manifold stud? It passes through an oil journal so that might be where the leak is coming from.


Good Luck
