Quick question, is it possible for the head gasket of the SD to leak oil out onto the block, without any other symptoms of damage being present? I’m not sure why, but every time I run it and go for a drive, there’s always oil all around the block, starting up at the head gasket.
there’s no other signs of a head gasket leak. It doesn’t eat any coolant at all, and there’s never bubbles in it, never gets hot, doesn’t use much oil or blow blue smoke, but all sides of the block are always covered in oil under the head gasket after a drive.
I’ve looked at the SD in dads farm Ute, and the block is dry, all the time, so I’m a bit concerned.
Mine also has a somewhat bad rear main leak, always drips in the car park when parked for a little while, but I’ll ignore that until I go to put on the turbo flywheel and replace the clutch.
Photos of my block after it’s been sitting for a few minutes and some of the oil has naturally vaporised:

Pretty much, do I need a new head gasket? Or is there something else going on?
