Sigh. I just replaced the gasket for rear cylinder and now I have an oil leak. I'm not certain if it's coming from the rocker box or from the head. Won't be able to determine that until I get the frame off to see that area without hindrance. Anyways, I noticed the oil was starting to spatter over the sub frame as well as covering the floor of the fan part of the frame. Don't suppose that would suggest the location?

Anyways, I will pick up some gaskets after I determine how far I must go for this, but in the mean time I was thinking of using some Hylomar to assist the gasket when I reassemble. I used it on my intake and rocker covers and I'm sick of redoing this crap.

If you have the Hylomar, it shouldn't do any harm.

Got the Hylomar. So, all ready, now just need to get the frame off to take a look where it's coming from.
