i have a slant six engine that is seeping small amounts of oil between the block and head. could this mean i need to re-tourque the head. the engine has a copper head gasket.

Are you sure the oil isn't coming from the Valve cover gasket?

If it's near the front, it could be the alternator bracket hole (if your bracket's gone), which is open to the outside.

Oh yeah, copper head gaskets are known to weep. Retorque the head.

i have found leaks from the timing cover seal. fuel pump gasket, oil pump gasket, and the various bolts that tap into the motor before, all were decieving.
