Hi Todd,

My question would be "where" on the drivers side of the head. An 84 I had wept slightly from just above the knock sensor at around 300K. I changed the head gasket a year or two later, but not for that little wetness, but a dropped valve seat. I didn't do anything with the other valves or involve a machine shop, and drove it until it whistled going down the road with rust holes at 375K. These things are more like tractor motors than V-Tec power plants.

Be careful of your tongue: It's kept in a wet place and could easily slip.
