What other mods do you have? Full exhaust, MBC, and fuel pump will get you into the 13's pretty easily.

the leak isnt that bad, its not leaving oil on the ground. I'm guessing the previous owner didnt correctly torque the head studs.
Here is where it is leaking from:
#1
Here is where i can see leaks coming from.
#2- is not leaking from the oil line, i can see it from the head gasket, it is barely leaking, but leaking extremely slowly. Also, I think there is some blow-by, because everytime I drive on the street, i can smell oil when i am at a stop, but that happens sometimes after the car is warmed up.
Yes, i know i am missing a manifold bolt. There isnt really nothing wrong with my engine, though im positive it will run quickly with a proper retune. I thought most of the Evo 3 engines were 6 bolt, but thanks TkrPerformance for letting me know. I am going to do a compression test pretty soon, I'll let you guys know how it goes.
