Is this a head gasket leak? (Read 59 times)

To me, if it was the plug leak it would be lower and more on the cylinder. It is pretty easy to pop off the cover clean it up, check your plug, re-seal and test ride.

Find a piece of metal tube to slide over the bolt so that the nut can tighten against it. (or a stack of washers) That may cure your leak...
