OM617 manifold oil = broken valve guide
I hope it doesn't turn out to be a broken valve guide.
I hope this gives you food for thought and not that horrible sinking feeling of oh %^*&^& in your gut - good luck |
Well, it did for a second, even though that thread was about oil in the intake manifold, and my problem is oil on 1 or 2 the exhaust manifold bolts. Also, I doubt if it's a guide because they were replaced fairly recently and, if I'm not mistaken, that would cause clattering, whereas the engine is very quiet.
So I was thinking that maybe it could be a stem seal on 1 or 2 exhaust valves? However, I'm still hoping that maybe it is leaking from the valve cover, even though I put silicon on the covers to keep them from leaking.
