Sounds like the "dowel pin leak". Search for that. The good news is it isn't normally fatal. You neeed to watch your oil level and it is a bit of a mess, though. The bad news is it requires tearing down the whole engine to fix (rebuild). I have heard that people have had some luck with stop leak type additives, though.

WTF?!?!? I have been using the Lucas Oil Stabilizer the past two times in my last oil changes. And it actually has slowed down my dowel pin oil leak for me. I think it works great!!!!

Since the omp lines are soooooooo small do I have to worry about cloging them if I use one of the "Stop Leak' products?
I too have the "Dreaded Dowel Pin Leak" I cant do a tear down till after I get married so thats a full year left.

I agree with gsl-se addict & rOtAryIsbEttEr, I use Luca Oil stabilizer on every oil change or every other oil chance and it fix the problem on my old FB. Give that a shot but becareful I would recommend maybe 1 out of every other oil change in my opinion.
