Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Oil Leak At Exaust Port?

[MM800]

Not comming from the valve cover gasket but through the 2nd from the back exaust port. Just running out. Oil residue in the radiator. Oil is otherwise clean. Could be head gasket? Where to get another head asap. Trying to go hunting.



Thanks

Oil in radiator is either oil cooler or head gasket. More than likely head gasket.



Call up PDR diesel or check out diesel power mag for a head source, I think I saw an add in DP.

I have one off my '96 with 150k on it.

I probably don't understand the leak correctly, but curious: why a new head instead of changing the gasket? When you get the head off, a machine shop can check the head for straightness, and maybe shave a little to bring it back to true.
