Reply #3 - 04/26/10 at 18:34:03 Torque those 2 bolts (fore and aft) and should slow it down if not stop it. these leakin' cause the head torque wasn't ever done. to replace the gasket, you have to pull the head.

Looks like thers oil up there. Is it possible for it to be working its way down & showing up at the spot youre seeing? Im not sure how thats built in there, just hoping to help a bit.

Just tighten the two bolts, or if you want to get into it tighten the 4 head bolts too. But thats a huge PITA. On the other hand with 27k mi you should probably have it apart to be looking at the cam chain tensioner anyway.
My buddies savage shed the front bolt completely so Id undo it altogether, clean the nut and bolt with solvent and apply some locktite after you retighten it.
