Does this look like a ring or valve stem seal issue(Resolved installing 1g head)

[havlc2u]

I have had oil leaking into exhaust manifold from cylinder 2 I removed the spark plug. It looked like the pic. Just wondering if it looks like a valve stem seal or piston ring I was going to replace the seals for the oil leak.




I am going to put my 1G head back on and see what I get for results.

If the oil was back flowing from the turbo all the exhaust ports would have an oily look to them.

Arw you sure its not just leaking oil past the sparkplug gasket seal?

+1. I was thinking the same thing. I've had this happen a few times and have seen it on several other cars as well.

Ya pretty sure the exhaust port for cylinder 2 has oil there is a pic in the thread of it. What I thought was a huge puddle on top the piston isn't that bad after a closer look. I believe it is either a valve guide or seal. Seems to be a lot of oil for a seal though.


So I figured install 1g head and see what happens.
