SoonerFanAZ Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Well started the banshee up and rode around the block to keep everything fresh and while putting her up I notice this. Bolt isnt loose just having fluid coming out. Head Gasket time or worst? How easy is it to change the gasket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankengineering Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Almost looks like it is the fuel valve dripping fuel on the head stud. The seal on the fuel valve is probably hard an brittle. sent from somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluid is coming from the one head stud only, i check and the torque is still good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
