[V8] Oil leak 92 V8 4.2

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Hmm.. Couldn't see anything in the pics, but I would check the area  
at the front of the motor under the valve cover where the cylinder  
head meets the engine block and see if THAT is where it is leaking.   
I had a leak in the same spot on the other side of the engine (rear  
by the heat shield and engine speed/rpm sensors). Taken care of by re- 
torqueing cylinder head bolts.
