Oil coming otu of exhaust manifold?

[tsidrift1]

The motor is still very new. I only have about 65 miles on it so far. I noticed that after I get done driving it for a little while(like 20 min or so) I come back pop the hood and there is a little bit of oil sitting on the flange of my manifold. It also looks like it is coming through the bottom too. There is a little bit of oil on the water pipe running across the block. I pulled the manifold cause I thought maybe the NEW oil seals were bad or something. I look in the ports and they are dry. My manifold is clean as a whistle inside. When the car starts up it blows some blue smoke for like the first thirty seconds of idle. Could this be related? I dont know if maybe the motor still hasnt broke in all the way or something. But Mitch at engintecs said the initial break in is in the first 20 min the motor runs.


Let me know what you guys think.

I would think rings or seals. If thats not your problem, I would look into maybe bad turbo seals. Then go from there.

I had the same problem on my motor after it was rebuilt. I blew the headgasket.

It wasnt a fresh motor but I had the same problem when my head gasket went.

how bad was it coming out, cause this is like a few drops seeping out. The car runs fine, no cutouts or anything. I guess I will check the compression.

burning oil at cold idle is tel tale sign of bad valve seals. So if your compression test comes out good i would look into that. also is your Valve cover Gasket leaking at all? because new engines that have a clean head makes it hard to see oil coming out of the gasket. But once gravity gets it down to the cast manifold its like a sore thumb. But the oil burning at startup doesn't sound good to me.
