Hi!

I have a small problem/ issue I wanted to briefly ask about.

My XJ has always had a small oil leak (or it was more like slight sweating really) from in between the cylinder head and the crankcase? (the lower part of the engine). I understand that a gasket change is going to face me sooner or later, but is it possible to cure anything by just e.g. tightening the cylinder head bolts? Or is this perhaps a too radical of a suggestion?

Many thanks in advance for your hints!

Best regards,
Dima

By no means am I an expert but if the bolts are alreaady torqued to spec I wouldn't torque them any further... better to have a little oil spray until you can change the gasjet then to have a stripped bolt :unsure:
