I've been chasin odd carburetor issues and ordered new rubbers (all new boots as they are cracked) and o-rings (under the intake manifolds) and noticed oil coming out of the intake bolt holes. Most of them are minimal and some not at all BUT the right rear upper is full of oil. When I wipe it, it seems to fill right back up. Is this normal? I can only assume not, but thought i would ask.

All the intake screws are all the same (length) I had thought perhaps one of the screws were over tightened. I'm sure I can seal it when I thread the bolt back in.

I've attached a few pictures.

Anyone?

The inboard bolts on #2 and #3 cylinders will have oil come out as they're blind holes.
