Could this leak be coming from a crack in the head at the valve guide?

My first thought was that there is nothing up there that can leak oil.

then I took some pics of a head laying right next to me:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i366.photobucket.com-10819-1380059313.1.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i366.photobucket.com-10819-1380059313.2.jpg)

So after looking at those pics... If the head nut/stud to the left of the above pic gets really loose, then the oil could leak out where you are showing.

AND - B|tch slap whoever put all that sillycone on your pushrod tubes.

OK, I'm pretty sure the inside of the exhaust port including the valve and valve stem, shouldn't be covered with wet glistening oil. (It's actually worse than the picture shows). All the other exhaust ports are dark grey with carbon but they are totally dry. I need some experienced opinions here unless you just can't help making remarks about silicone and bitch slapping. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) This is the number 2 exhaust port. I found the smoke the car was making was worse doing down hill with a right turn. Since number 2 is the forward left cylinder I guess this makes sense. Does anyone besides SLITS agree with this? Looks like the engine comes out and the head comes off.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I'd agree; time to pull that head and have it checked thoroughly.

The part that I was commenting on was the drip of oil coming from ABOVE the stub pipe, which cannot be coming from inside the exhaust port.
Or do you not see the drip coming off of the cooling fin?

I was being serious both about the leak and the fact that you should not use silicone on the tube seals....

Looks like you have a leak both inside & outside that cylinder.
Maybe from that bolt AND from inside. Maybe related?

Thanks. It looks like the engine comes out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The push rod tubes aren't leaking and never have on this engine because of the high temp sealant that was used. So, which is better, carbs or fuel injection?

I would have told you that your guess at a crack valve guide seat would have oiled the port, but you don't listen anyway.

Go sit in your lawn chair, take more pictures, drink wine, eat more moldy cheese, PUT DOWN THE RTV AND TOOLS and wait for the Leprechauns to fix your car.

PULL THE DAMN HEAD!!!!!

And if I lived nearby, I would swing by and pick up SLITS, along with two more chairs, a few extra bottles of wine, some scotch and we would come supervise you while you waited for the leprechauns.

But you didn't. All you could think of was giving me shit about RTV on the push rod tube seals. Speaking of Leprechauns, does that mean you'll be coming up here to help? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Hey! Hey! New England boy. SLITS is the only one who can talk about me like that. Besides if you lived close by, I don't think either one of you would be much help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

What chicken $hit answer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) FI is more efficient. Carbs are more fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)
