I have oil comming out of the port closes to the power steering just did the valve seals thought that maybe was the problem, and it didnt fix. Was wondering if anyone would know why this could be happening?
 
Are you saying it's coming from the exhaust port?

Are you sure it's coming from in the port. I know some of those exhaust manifold studs run back into a oil or coolant passage, can't remember which. They could be leaking and causing your issue. Try putting RTV on the threads and then screwing them into the head, that is how I fixed mine on my 90.
 
ya i when i went to replace my studs when i was putting my new manifold on i saw oil comming out of the exhaust port. It explains why i had alot of oil on that on side of the block. Even the guy i had helping me with my car said the same thing, and i didnt even bring it up to him.

noone has any idea why this could be LOL?
