exsesive exhaust leakage

[Nutwood 472]

I have a built 368 ported running cool head 20 domes 160 compression 29 pwks vforce3 reeds t5s,at start up alot of oil blows out left side at cylinder side,clears out a little when warmed up and is not running right on top end now.Doesnt smell or taste like antifreeze and base gasket wet under intakes.Anybody have any theorys on this,before I tear it down.

Did I read that right?...."Doesn't smell or taste like antifreeze" :shrug:

You need to figure out if its the base gasket leaking, the header pipe leaking, or the case halves leaking.

The reason I mention antifreeze,is that ,I didnt know if o-ring on cool head leaking,I had a water jacket plug on bottom cylinder leak and cold siez left side at 60mph going down road,replaced plugs in both cyl,and bored to 80 over from 60.but no drop in coolent bottle either.

base gasket just gets a little damp only under intakes after ridding for awhile,case halves dry,header pipes t5s just left 1 leaking in between cyl&header,alot at start up then clears out about 80% when warmed up,not smoking out of stingers no more than normal,wondering why im getting all that build up in cyl,you think broke reed could be problem, V-froce3 reeds brand new.could be o-ring in pipe, but why so much at start up now,never did it before?I plan on replacing base gaskets with 1 peace base gasket too.thanks for the input
