Oil Leak, Warped block?

Right when i dropped my b16 it wasnt doing this. And for some reason my fan stopped working and it overheated about 3 times. And then it started to leak oil between the head and block on the corner by where the tranny is. After that i had the head resurfaced and with another new head gasket but it still keeps doing it. Could it be a warped block?

take your head back off. then you need to get a nice perfect and strait pc of metal and a feeler gage and go from corner to corner in a diagnal patern. and run the feeler between the metal and the block. im not sure of the spesifications on what its suppose to be. but thats what i would do. just like checking the head.might have to get the block resurfaced.

except that you're possibly mixing your coolant with your oil with a warped head/leaking head gasket :thumbdown:
Definitely a problem when your coolant passages become gummed up with oil like veins after you eat at Mc Donalds.

And you definitely don't want coolant in your oil. water & oil don't mix and you can't lubricate your engine with water.

I'd check it out asap :thumb:

im going to get the block resurfaced in about a week or two when i move. It sucks living in apartments. Ive been checking the oil and the water constantly and it looks fine, nothing weird. i dont drive it a lot for the same reason, but when i do i drive like a grandma. But im definitely not going to drive it for years like that.

thats cool that you will get the block resurfaced. That leak is external only and very common on dohc motors :thumb:
