oil leaking from h. gasketi
Just started car and there seems to be oil coming out of h.gasket area....
Gets worse when engine is warm......
Any ideas.
Was thinking the balance ports on cam covers are blocked... would that do it..??

Give it a damn good clean, get a decent quality cleaner and some bottle brushes to help get in the tight bits. Don't use a pressure washer to rinse just you a hose pipe at quite low flow to rinse off. Then go for a drive to dry the engine and allow the oil to get up to temperature. Then as said use a torch and a mirror to have a good look round for where the oil is coming from.
Is the engine actually using oil significantl?.
