I am having trouble finding an oil leak on my '69 TR6, I have had the car 
about 6 months and have receipts for the engine rebuild at a Brit car shop in 
Tampa, Fl. The engine has about 500 miles on it now and there is an oil leak 
around the back half of the distributor side of the engine. Now here lies the 
problem, is it possible to leak oil from the head gasket? There is a sheen of 
oil on the engine serial # flat and all along the head/block junction on the 
drivers side after even a short drive of 5 miles. I cannot find a leak any 
higher up on the engine. I should mention that the engine runs fine and there 
is no sign of oil / water cross contamination. Any ideas are appreciated. 
Thanks, Joe in NH /// CC25856L
