951 leaking oil exaust header side?
Silly question, I noticed slight dripping on the header side of my 951 engine block, I checked around the cyl head and cam box and didn't see any real leaks, it will smoke on start up, then after it warms up the smoke disappears. Could I be missing something, any idears on what could be leaking near the back of the header side of the engine?

It looks like the oil is coming from the rear cam housing cover, it might be time for a new gasket....I might get lucky!

no headache involved...cam tower gasket is stupid-easy...if it takes more than an hour, you had better be taking a 30 minute nap between taking it off and putting it back on.

I heard that, I saw another post, where someone said check the bolts, and that back gasket of the cam tower, ill check that first, then if it still leaks, ill do the "stupid-easy" gasket, Turning 50 yrs old makes me less wanting to bust up my knuckles, boy if I was younger, I would dive in to it with a big grin on my face, not so much now......
