Head Seepage
Noticed that around the head yes all the way around. there seems to be oil,fuel,something seeping from the head. was wondering if this is normal on a truck with 42k on it. my only performance mods are in my sig. it is going to the dealer on thur. for other non-related issues but i did mention this.

I had my 2003 in the shop last week for the same thing at 36,900 miles. They replaced the gaskets on the two piece vavle cover. The tech stated that he has never seen one as bad as mine. I noticed that the oil buildup was worse around cyclinders #4,5, and #6.
Oh by the way, the service manager waived the $100 warranty deductible without me asking him to do so.

Top cover comes off easy, it has an oring and can be reused. The rocker cover has the gaskets but there are injector wires that need to be removed.
I will continue to just clean mine off in the spring as it only seams to "weep" in the cold weather.
