    Any gasket leaks are never a good thing. I wouldn't think that one would make you run lean but rather give you a misfire since your compression would be lower on that cylinder.

    i would think that if it were leaking. there would be some kind of exhaust streak. unless i'm missing it. all i see is a lot of oil leaking on that engine. where your finger was pointing looked like a spot of oil. and judging from the top of your engine. looks like a valve cover gasket.

    BUT, the pic isn't showing up with the best clarity on my pc. so i might be missing something.
