leaking oil is just like leaking blood. It looks alot worse than it might be...
My clutch housing stays coated and it drips on the crossover pipe.
On mine oil is coming from the seam between the cam caps. Machine shop didn't use sealer. Oil leaks at those cam plugs, and the valve cover gaskets in the sharp corner near same location, too.
I probably have a leaking rear main seal, too. ARRRRGH!
Wipe the back of the heads clean( if your hand is small enough to get in there). Dad a clean towel on there the next day and see how bad it's leaking. If you can get situated under the truck just right you can see the back of the heads.
The first couple years Chrysler used the engine the cam plugs could pop out in extreme cold weather. That shouldn't occurr on that newer Japanese engine. I like to use this very expensive Toyota FIPG sealer for those plugs and valve cover gasket corners. It's thinner consistancy and much longer cure/working time makes for good performance for this slow old fart. It's like $20 a tube, but worth it to me.
I sure understand your aggrevation.
