Confirmation sought: exhaust stud leak?

[AndrewL]

Being only about a year into my practical ownership tenure, I'm looking for validation from those who've dealt with this before.

I'm suspecting the cause of this oil leaking onto the header bolts is a leaking exhaust stud.


If not, any other possible causes? I've just removed, cleaned and resealed the stud but am looking to see if I may have overlooked something else.



Once I sort this leak I can finally drive this thing for the first time since September.

Yep, that should fix your problem. Both of my header studs were also leaking, I did the same thing and took them out and resealed them. That fixed the leak for me.

Thank you mate, I appreciate the response.
