alright so i have a built motor that has about 4500 miles on it in the past year. i never had any issues since i put in the motor and i drive it pretty hard. i drove it for 6 months then parked it to get a paint job for 5 months since it was at a friends shop. to me it looks like its coming from the corner of the block in the back drivers side, while at an idle it drips a decent amount. but im not sure if its the rear main seal or my head bolts? i have arp head bolts but im not sure it its the studs or bolts that had an issue? any advice is appreciated i have been waiting so long to drive it now i have to pull something.
