first of the car is a 99 honda civic ex sedan d16y8, the car is boosted and i started overheating last week (after about 3 weeks of being boosted). i found out i was getting exhaust into my coolant, so i pulled the head the other day and replaced the gasket with a brand new oem y8 gasket and installed arp head studs. the fired right up and i took it for a test drive and there seemed to be no problems until i got home.
i looked under the car and found a pretty moderate oil leak, i pulled the oil filter off and looked but couldnt see anything. so i wiped everything down and started the car after i put the filter back on and climbed under the car, the leak looks to be coming out of the coolant block drain but its straight oil and no coolant so how could that be?
what do you guys think it could be? the drain plug is tight but i cant see any runs from the bottom of the head area. how likely is it that its the head gasket again, i used my craftsman torque wrench and torqued to 60 ft lbs in 4 steps 25/35/48/60 and have only heat cycled the motor twice. oh and i did measure for warpage and i couldnt even fit a .003 feeler under and the manual says between .002-.008
this is a picture of my oil leak
here are two videos i took with my smart phone WARNING turn down your volume it gets loud under my car
i noticed the golden stream right above the oil filter but in the second video its all dry like nothing was there
