Cylinder/Head leaks - Need your opinion

Hi Everyone,

I have a Porsche 911 2.7 165 CV From 1977.

I bought it 10 years ago.
7 years ago, I blew up the engine (ring failure -> too much ware) so I rebuild it.
I installed Helicoil with 993 head stud.
I also know that this is not what is recommanded for this engine.
What is done is done, I didn't have to proper knowlegde at the time.

I did around 10 000 miles since.

Yesterday, I did a checkup on the engine and I discover this.


The image is not so clear.

So it's on the cylinder 3 and you are seeing the head/cylinder.

I checked the head stud, and they are in place.

I would have some opinion regarding what to do.

Thanks a lot.

Regards;

Thomas
