Hi All, it seems that I did not do a very good job sealing the front of the engine while she was out. I'm not sure exactly what I did (or did not do) but I have a minor but persistent dribble coming from under the distributor area where the upper part of the cover meets the head. Is this something that can be rectified without taking out the radiator? I figure someone here has done the job and will know the easiest way to do this so I ask for the aid of the forum! (once again).

The manual warns to use a sealant at the corners of the upper timing cover.
That what those little divots in the head gasket are for.
