Hi, I've got a bad oil leak that's running down my exhaust manifold. I've removed my manifold and found the head around the stud at the end broken. I'm wondering if oil could be leaking from here or is it the cam cover

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Oil can,t leak down a manifold stud .. The leak will be the cam cover side .. this may be a plug tube depending on the year , a cam cover bolt .. simple fix if so or something like a cam cover seal / something higher up . I'm afraid i can't tell from the picture .. a photo of the cam cover itself would help more . The damage to the head .. it should still seal with a new gasket . Btw .. there are no actual drips in the picture which would make this a minor leak ?
