dohc glx 2.0 with standard weber 2v tld carb, think its 1990. sorry dont know the miles engine was swapped. i would add that it does not idle very well. there is oil coming from the back of the engine between the head and the block. however the water and oil are not mixing

I would check for a broken valve spring or a worn lobe on the cam shaft. Check compression in this cylinder.
