    The pipe is a custom made with a VH front fabbed mid pipe and shortened late model can.

      How frustrating, seems like the leak has migrated to the base gasket now. But the good news is the head gasket stopped leaking. Oh well, they both have to go anyway.

        are you sure the base is leaking and it is not residue oil seeping down from the leak that was above it?

          Yeah, I have been watching carefully and its definetly the base gasket. It's just barely weeping, any chance it may stop on its own?

                  There are 3 kinds of people, those who see the glass as half full, those who see the glass as half empty and then there are people like me who see a glass that's twice as big as it needs to be! It was a compliment.
