A slight seepage of oil seems to be the norm for the M110 engine. I'm not talking dripping but a smudge along the junction with the cam tower housing.
Understood and agreed to: In 1990 when I first started maintaining my M110 there was another brand of gasket available in addition to Victor Reinz. I can't remember the name, but it had red letters or background on the logo and was considered slightly superior to Reinz.
