So a few weeks ago I noticed that my oil leak had gotten drastically worse. After some investigation I noticed that I have oil leaking out of the head gasket right under the exhaust manifold.
I plan on rebuilding the engine in a year or so, but for now I'd really like to at least slow down the oil leak because the oil has a tendency to get on to the exhaust and then my car smokes at stop lights. I'm getting a little worried it might catch on fire.
I was considering trying to re-torque the head bolts, but being that those are torque to yield I'm worried they might break. Anybody have any ideas?
