While installing new headers the stub pipe at number 1 cylinder contacted against the push rod tube and it now leaks oil at the cylinder head end.
I have installed push rod tubes on an engine out of the car, but what are the options for fixing a leak in this location in situ? Big boo boo. |

Hijacking this a little-can it be done on a six? Obviously no push rods to deal with, but it's been a long time since I've been in that area.
I'm thinking that's my problem. If I let the car sit for a couple months without running it, I end up with a big oil pool under the passenger engine side. Thinking I get leak down from the oil tank and it fills the sump. |
