oil leaking from head gasket? i dont see how its possible but thats what it looks like. theres oil above the oil filter and on the block between number 5 and 7 exhaust ports. theres also a small streem that looks like its comming from under the number 4 and 6 exhaust ports. i just replaced the head gaskets with fel pro 1074, had the heads milled, replaced valve cover gaskets, intake gaskets, checked oil pressure sensor and cant figure this out

after i did the head gasket, the intake started leaking so iv already redone that. it feels dry, so does the oil pressure sensor, the passenger side valve cover is seeping but the head is still dry and clean. i also replaced the driver side valve cover gasket since i did the heads

Could it be from the Oil cooler if your car has one? I had a buddy look over mine cuz of some leaks iv noticed and he told me the oil cooler dos leak some times and to just delete it out. Or like others said check higher up with ur intake and valve cover.

It's possible. I saw it firsthand at the back of cylinder #7 on a new (not mine 
) rebuild. Head torque was apparently not done correctly and I guess oil seeped through the corner bolt hole and between the head and block. Before that, I did not think it was possible, either.
