weeping oil 140-160 1970



After getting filthy replacing the timing gear on my 164

I've decided to clean the motor so that future motor work

would be cleaner. A couple of cans of gunk and a car wash

squirting thing later, my motor is pretty clean.

I noticed that there is oil weeping out of the block in

several places, including the fuel pump and the oil dipstick.

The thing that worries me most is that there is a tiny

amount of oil leaking out from the union between the block

and the head in a couple of places. It is only a tiny

amount, but it is enough to notice. Also, I'm pretty sure

that it is weeping from the head to block union and not

dripping from the valve cover onto the block.

Should I worry about this?
