Encircled is the area of the leak, I'm 99% sure it's oil. I pressure wash it away and it slowly comes back after driving. Any chance it's the headgasket leaking out from there? I know for sure there is no coolant/oil mixing.

Thanks in advance.

 

possibly didn't put head gasket correct

 

Maybe? Has OEM gasket as I'm not aware of any maintenance of this car. It runs awesome and doesn't leak or burn anything other than this one spot. Would a cam seal leak end up there?

 

well from the picture it looks like they put alot silicon and possibly cheap silicon cause the oil is going through

 

Where do you see silicone? If you're talking about the black between the head and the block, thats the headgasket.

 

that's the head gasket?? doesn't look like it , touch and feel and see if it really is

 

Yes sir it is, the black cardboardlike stuff.

 

could be cam seal leaking, which then shows up there since the upper and lower timing covers separate there

 

Yeah. I'll tinker with it a bit this weekend maybe. But would I be far off in including the headgasket in the possible culprits? Anyone seen one leak externally like that on one of these before?

 

Bump, just wondering if anyone's seen an external headgasket leak before. The dizzy side is completely dry. Another thing I thought I'd toss in there is one of the hoses at the intake manifold coolant pipes was leaking so I just looped the lines, no issues should arise from this I'd assume?

 

I've owned 8 rex's and three of them had the same leak. I consider it normal seepage and it won't hurt anything.
Of course you could change it and fix it but I wouldn't worry.

 

Odd, you verified they were leaking from the headgasket? Or just didn't bother you enough to get to the root of it?

 

I verified it by changing the head gasket on two of them.
After finding the same seepage on the third one, I never changed the gasket and it never got worse. My curent HF has the same leak and has for the three years I've owned it and it is still running strong.

 

Grab torque wrench and retorque the headbolts. See if the leak lessens..

 

Ya I'll do that once I'm back at work where my box is.
