Did you replace the o-ring on the head bolt cover plug? Hopefully you don't
have a hairline
fracture in the head weeping oil.

After replacing the lower cylinder gasket, all the
o-rings, the head gasket, and the valve cover gasket, I
still have a tiny leak of oil coming from what looks like
under the head. Yes, I remembered to put in the head bolt
cover plug thingy. Doesn't leak bad, just enough to get
on my header pipes and look bad and piss me off. Of
course, selling her will be easier (not easier for me, but
easier to get someone to buy her) if she don't leak. Any
ideas?
Thanks!
