In Reply to: Slight leak from head gasket - how much $ to fix? posted by Bruce Clarke on September 19, 1999 at 18:27:39:
Hi Bruce,
Try torqueing the two bolts that you can see (one in front and one in rear). If the leak does not get worse, and it's not affecting performance, I'd live with it. I also have a small leak from that bolt. It's been there for the last 30,000 miles. I just wipe it off every morning. I figure if it doesn't affect performace then screw it. When I take off the head and replace the gaskets, it will be when it's time to rebuild the entire top end. Savages are known to leak around the top end.
