My '98 4.0 w/98k seems to be "weeping" oil from the passenger side head gasket. I gunked the top of the motor to prep for a valve cover gasket replacement, but after about two weeks I noticed that the oil was seeping from the block/head area. Very, very little, not even beginning to run down the side of the motor.
The engine runs as if it was showroom, mobil 1 changes every 2.5k miles, no steam from exhaust, no loss of coolant, no foaming of coolant, no crap in oil, really no sign whatsoever of any damage to head gasket. Perfect idle, normal temperature guage readings, if anything a bit cooler now that the weather has changed, usual great acceleration.
I ran a search and someone mentioned that the oil galleys are on the passenger side and this is not anything to worry about. Can someone verify this or provide info about the seriousness of this weeping?
Thanks,
