Hi there,

I noticed that i seem to have a little bit of oil dripping from the right exhaust pipe. Reading around, it sounds as though it may be the exhaust valve seal. Don't know if this is right though. I'm pulling the engine out of the frame this week to replace all the gaskets so I thought I'd look for this oil leak as well. How do I tell if the valve seal is bad? Is there a visual sign i can look for? Thanks.
 
if you're doing gaskets you want to do valve seals for sure. Some times one is obviously split other times they just get hard and don't seal anymore.
