Hey All..
Any suggestions on a driver side small (5-6 drops after shutting down) oil
leak?? I have pulled the tin on my 88 and it is seeping from over the
topside of the second  pushrod tube. I cant seem to find the source. any
typical leakage sources?? It looks like the sender has agood seal and the
seals on teh pr tubes are not leaking. Has anyone heard of a pushrod
cracking?? or having a pin hole?? No visibile damage to it indicating such
but it has me stumped..
additionally.. I found that the P/O stripped out one exhaust bolt hole at
each end of that head.. anyone have an easy solution to heli coiling the
hole without dissambly of the AC setup??
thanks
tom
