Re: Leaking Oil

Could be burnt valve(s) also, which would require a head rebuild. A couple of my exhaust valves went out on my 91 and it smoked like crazy.

Re: Leaking Oil

Doing compression and leak-down tests will pinpoint where the oil is leaking from. Instructions on doing those tests can be found at http://www.vfaq.com/index-main.html They're pretty simple, really. Told me immediately that I had valve problems.

Hope this helps.
