Getting prepared for head gasket or what...

[David Templeton]

Still in the process of getting the 5K ready and it turns out there is an
oil leak coming from the rear of the head. My first inclination is the head
gasket but it seems to be purculating out right by the rear most exaust
bolt????

I have the haynes manual for the car should I follow the procedure they
describe or is there easier methods, like not removing certain components to
do this job?

BTW, thanks to all who responded to the basic 5K questions. I now know where
all the buttons are :-)

Thanks
