   hi all,
   i've got oil leaking out the left side of the head on my 03 vtr, other than getting the head gasket done is there anything else i can try?
   i've seen those stop leak things but they look like they only work on rubber gaskets.
   has anyone a idea till i get get the cash for a gasket to be done!

   How bad is it? The oil way goes through a channel in the gasket there and breaks down there leaking oil out. It's not a massive problem if it's a slow leak. Head gasket renewal is the only viable fix really, doubtful you could seal it from the outside
