Well if it is running, it is in darn good shape, and all issues are small! The leak is not normal but common. Don't look too close at your other vehicles, they also leak. You can try retorquing, If it were mine, I would break each bolt loose just enough to free it, then retorque to specification, no more. Keep track of the bolt head location (mark the head to locate the rotation). if the process tightens then a bit, keep doing it. If they remain at the same turn of bolt, or less, turn them to that original mark. Do this one bolt at a time, not all at once. If it still leaks (probable) put on a new gasket and use copper coat spray on both sides of the gasket and let it get very near to dry befor assembly. (a milling of the head .050" won't hurt it either) JimN
