Head gasket Leaking oil

[Matthew Smith]

I have done the following mods
The mds delete
A hellcat oil pump And lifters
6.4 hemi intake swap
I have noticed a significant oil leak on the rear passenger corner of my engine.I can’t tell if it’s from the valve cover or the head gasket. I wouldn’t think there would be oil passages in the corner of the head.
I’ve also noticed some oil under the intake from what little I can see. What’s the chances of the heads leaking oil

Grab some stop leak designed for sump and put it in asap. You can watch youtubes these products are actually dare I say a miracle in a can. The way they work is fix the leak but not gunk up engines. I don't have any opinion on brand, I would see ratings on amazon and go off that as long as a ton of ratings. When was last time you replaced pcv?

Do Head Gasket Sealers Actually Work (FULL 2yr TEST with Engine Teardown)

Replacing a blown Head Gasket can be difficult and expensive. Sometimes your car is not worth fixing and this is where a head gasket sealer in a bottle comes...

Check radiator for oil and oil for water/coolant?

Check tester 6 minute mark, real interesting. This is for coolant head gasket, but I showed for how these products work, just find one for oil.

most likely the mds delete plugs. mine leaked as well. it pools under the intake manifold and finds its way down.

I agree on this being the issue!!!!!!!!!

That’s a relief, what did you do to fix it

when i pulled the leakers out, i found the o-rings were torn. i put black rtv around all of them and reinstalled.
whether or not that's the right thing to do is another story lol. been ok so far.

So oil is coming from top and not valve cover or head, just verify that. Good result.

If you had the heads off,are you sure you re-installed the head gaskets correctly,they're easy to get mixed up,and will leak oil if they're on the wrong side or upside down

Sorry to revive this thread, but I am seeing the exact same problem. After doing the MDS delete, looking like its leaking oil from the Passenger side rear corner of head, and valve cover..

Have you followed the above advice pertaining to the MDS delete plug O-rings being checked and/or the head gaskets not being installed correctly?

I haven't been able to take the intake off yet to check (3 kids and a crappy work schedule). Just looked under there and looks like it's mostly coming from the corner of the head. I will start by checking the MDS plugs, then the valve cover, then the heads. Just wanted to see what solved his issue.

Thanks

We may never know the answer.

So finally was able to take the intake off. Somehow all of the MDS plugs were loose. I had torqued them down, but I guess I didn't?? There was. A little bit of oil under there but not as much as I would think. So tightened them all up, also put some rtv on the back corner of my valve cover. Just got finished doing it all so over the next couple days I'll see if it fixes my issue and give an update.
