84 911 oil leak
Ever since I replaced head studs on this customers '84' 911, I have a seepage that appears to be from the sealing surface of the cam carrier and cylinder head. This is the number three cylinder. It is also the same cylinder which lost compression due to two broken studs. Do not feel this seepage is from application error. Been back in twice now. Surfaces are clean and flat. Using Loctite 574 sealer. Any help out there? Either within this Forum or some other site that can be recommended? I am new to this Forum. Please any suggestions will be appreciated.

Have you ruled out the rocker arm shafts as the leak?

If you checked the surfaces of the head and cam carrier for flatness with suitable methods (glass plate/granite block, feeler gauge), I would think a rocker arm shaft is leaking.
RSR seals may be all you need to fix the problem.

thank you for your replies. I am going to get this vehicle back this week and put rocker seals in it.

Make sure the rocker shafts are installed properly. Ie one side of the rocker shavt end flush with the smaller rocker boss. Don't ask me how I know.
