[Vwdiesel] Oil Leak

[Rudy Petersen]

I'm thinking it may be because I didn't re torque the Studs or not tight
enough to start with.  Last, I may have nicked the Gasket when I set the
Head on or something like that but that's unlikely as I'm very careful.  

I used the ARP Studs with the fine thread nuts and their lube and torque'd
them to OE spec (66 ft. lbs.).  I thought the clamping force would have been
considerably more than then the original Bolts with MO lube.

  Thing is, there's no oil under pressure there to follow a scratch.  
Closest oil
is in the internal passages or the gravity return hole, (or the cam seal as
you found).  Then there's the v/c gasket.  That's about it.
