    oil leaking head gasket?

    Started Medussa {GS1100GK} in the garage today, & there seems to be oil leaking past the head gasket on the exhaust side. Could this be? Would retorquing the head seal it?
    Very frustrating!

    You sure it's not coming from cam cover gasket- maybe it loosened up?

      I would look hard at the cam cover and tachometer drive first, as stated. It could well be the head gasket.

        It seems to be from the head to cylinder joint, along through front, below the exhaust ports. The top cylinder fin is what is getting wet.

          double confirm that, when the valve cover gasket leaks it can end up in some astonishing places.
