Slow oil leak in one of the exhaust outlets


Seems to be leaking very slowly, I see residue appear  again 10 minutes after wiping it. When it starts there is sometimes a puff of smoke. Do I have a leaky valve stem seal? If so how would I test to verify which one?

I have a 350 v8

Thanks

Sounds like it.  i would start with changing the valve seals,  just start with the ones on those cylinders.  Its a fairly easy job if you have an air compressor and and a valve spring tool.  while you are at it, it wont be much extra to just do all of them.

Did you get rid of the 6cyl on your beaumont?  i might be interested in any of the 6cyl parts and or speed stuff, let me know

Sure I just have to hoist it still. The block cracked during the winter while in my garage. Still runs, just leaks coolant.
