Ok I hooked up a pressure tester for the first time after putting on my FMIC and GM MAFT. I have no leaks in my intake tract but after about 10 seconds of pressure testing i start hearing this dripping type sound. After looking all around my buddies and i took off the oil cap. With the oil cap off i put my ear to the whole and that dripping sound can be hear really well and you can feel the vibrations from the "dripping" sound come out of the hole. My buddies and i at best clue are thinking head gasket, crack in the head or crack in the block. Anyone else have any ideas. I know that the air from the intake manifold is not ever suppose to be in the cam section of the head but that is what it sounds like. It sounds like it is bubbling the oil in the top of the head.
