Hello.

I joined the forums to ask about a leak I can't figure out.

____

My 360 FE:
Stock Rebuilt - 12 months ago - stock
.030 over [just for clean-up]
76 AA heads [for valve seats]
Edelbrock 390 Performer - Holley 4-barrel - Headers [for airflow]
Stock cam / Crank - Not a hot-rod

I could really use some help with my 360 oil leak.

I pulled my 360 and put it on my test stand.

It appears as if oil [anti-freeze?] is coming up through the head bolt?

It leaks, from what seems to be the head bolt, then runs through the headers and down the block.

The head bolt between 3-4 / 7-8 appears to be the worst.

I have some pictures on photobucket:
