nope none above the manifold ,rocker gaskets are new not a drop from that area ,just from that exhaust outlet.can thing of anything else that will let oil out in that area but the pistons,please prove me wrong with another theory!

I have the same thing. It appears to be leaking oil from a broken/missing stud. A friend pointed out some oil from my rocker gasket and suggested that it's just running down the back, and then around that last manifold pipe.

I dunno.. I recken i've got a tiny leak there, but my pressure and temps are fine, and it doesn't lose oil.

I HAVE heard that if you drill too far into the hole to get a broken stud out, that you can go too far and puncture into the head fairly easily. Either way, with a new stud in there, it should seal that hole up pretty well I think!

Hopefully i'll be getting all new studs in the next few weeks.

post-13324-1161593258.jpgpost-13324-1161593127.jpgwhats the easiest way of finding out ?? if it was leaking that much oil through the piston rings what other symptoms would there b?

i took out 2 of the closest sparkplugs near the area do they tell any tales?

Does your car chew up oil? could be your piston rings are gone-ski and to make things worse, some of your exhaust is leaking out from area with the missing bolt...

Looks like that spark plug has been burning oil.

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
