I dont know if this is the right forum so please move it if you need to...
Broke the top left most (cylender 4) stud and had a local mechien shop drill it out. Now it seems that oil is leaking from the stud and out onto the manifold. They both drilled out the old stud and reinstalled a new one.
I called to find out if they had drilled into an oil gallary or something, they told me it was perfectly normal to tap into one and that i should just take the bolt out and seal it with some teflon sealer or something like that. I didnt think that it should fall on me to do it, so i called back the next day and they told me that "that stud doesnt run into an oil gallery" and that it must be comming from somewhere else
Ok now im not stupid or anything, but i figured ide take a look. This oil is clearly on the stud that they drilled out. i have 2 questions.
1. is there an oil gallery behind that stud? Is it normal to have oil leaking out after putting in an unsealed stud? or did they drill to far
2. Is there anywhere else the oil could maybe be leaking from and showing up on that stud? i know there isnt alot of info about it, but they way they said it it could be anything. Just thought ide ask the experts here before i try and throw it at them again
Thanks alot for any help
