Brett,

If I'm reading your post right, the thing is just doing a light "seep" and not a major "leak", right?

You will see this happening all the time, if you do a lot of engines. It is just not that big of a deal.

Start the goofy thing up and get it hot; this will melt the built-in sealer on the head gasket and your 'seep' will stop.

And don't worry about your not putting a sealer on the gasket. These "sealers" are nothing more than an aftermarket selling scheme. No manufacturer uses gasket sealers anyway.

You're making this problem bigger than it really is.

Allan
