    Head gaskets leak oil?

    Is it common for a head gasket on these motors to leak oil externally like down the front of the block area? My oil leak isn’t valve cover, it’s not the fuel block of plate, not the water pump bolt, and it’s coming from the front of the motor and basically it appears to be in the area of the...
