i've got an oil leak in my 87 mk1 i recently purchased; it starts to smoke from the leak when the engine warms up after about 10 minutes of running; from the top, i see a dark color stain on top of the exhaust manifold heat shield close to the distributor; from the bottom, i see a small oil bead about to drop from the distributor; and the area below the distributor is pretty black from old oil;
could the leak be coming from the distributor gasket? if not, what other possible place could the leak be coming from? anyone ever had something like this?
thanks in advance for your inputs.
