If I run the engine for about 5 minutes I get a small weep of oil from one of the manifold studs, when the manifold is removed there is oil on the end of the stud too. The rocker cover is dry and the little grub screw in between cylinder 2 and 3 is dry too, so does this mean there's a crack in the oil way? It's a c20let but the head is coscast so I thought they were meant to be a bit more reliable hence this question . It also smokes like a bitch from the manifold when it gets hot too

been drilled before and gone too deep? try some threadlock/sealer/ptfe tape on the stud.
