Title: oil leak Post by: hammerbeirne on May 23, 2013, 09:32:35 AM Does a 131 twincam engine leak out oil between the head and the block And if so could this mean the head gasket is blown Engine is not over heating and not loosing coolant either

Title: Re: oil leak Post by: hammerbeirne on September 16, 2013, 07:55:27 PM STILL LOOKS LIKE THE HEAD GASKET THE OIL IS TOO CLEAN TO TRACE THE ORIGIN OF THE LEAK IS THERE SOME TPE OF DYE THAT CAN BE MIXED THROUGH OIL TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM MORE ACCURATELY ?

It's hard to tell without seeing your engine. Do you have a top mounted dizzy? There's a gasket there as well. So many possobilities.
