Oil spray near bottom of head?
 

I've noticed that lately everything near the passenger side of my head is being sprayed with oil? My intake pipe and the transmission are all have splatter, the water pipe by the manifold is actually covered in it, I also hardly drive my car, but my I seem to have gone through a qt of oil after a few days of driving, anyone guess whats up? Should I start thinking HG?

Check the crankcase breather too...do you have a catch-can or just a small filter?

Re: Oil spray near bottom of head?
 

Small filter, its dry on the outside, the water pipe just below it is clean as can be.

What kind of socket do you use to take off the cylinder head, the bolts whatever look all crazy.

I used a fourteen point socket, if you are talking about the actual head bolts.

Most likely HG. I blew mine out on the same spot.

Re: Oil spray near bottom of head?
 

A 16 point socket, eh? I would like to see one of those! I think you got a little confused, it should be a 12 point socket.
