Hi
In a previous post I mentioned that my '62 has a bad oil leak, around 1-litre of oil for every 100kms (60 miles) or so.
Everything underneath has an oil slick on it.
I checked the usual suspects - valve covers, rear of intake, front timing cover, loose oil filter etc, no joy
I had the workshop that was doing my generator repairs (all sorted, working well now) track down the leak - I suspected rear main seal.
But no, it's leaking between the head and block!?
I've never heard of this happening before. I guess I'll be pulling the intake and heads off this week, but has anybody experienced this and can let me know what I might find when I pluck the heads?
Cheers
Alistair
