Trying to figure out where this leak is coming from. Here are a couple of picks:
Now, i understand that some exhaust manifold studs could leak sometimes but i'm just not seeing it. The one on the far right does look a little wet but it does not look like it's leaking around the stud.
Without having to take everything apart, it does kind of look like the leak is coming somewhere between the headgasket and block right underneath that far right stud, however, it just seems like a very weird place to leak oil from.
The engine has 24 miles on it right now. The compression was done on a warm engine and came out to be 160/166/165/155. Just also did a leak down test on a cold engine and came out with 7-8% across the board, while it was at 13% on the engine stand.
Also, the oil leak is not visible under the car when the engine is operating, only when looking at it so it's pretty small, at least for now..
Any suggestions??
