Sounds like a bandaid...There is a reason why it is leaking. I prefer doing the job right...

I guess I won't know if it leaking out the gasket or the (possible?) threaded oil plug on the rear of the head until I physically take it off again. Shouldn't be too long of a job this time around. Couple hours and I should have it off.

Again though, if anybody can confirm if there are any gallery holes in the rear of the 103 head that would be great.
