Liquid coming out of header ??
yesterday i cleaned my engine, i covered up all the electricals to make sure i didnt get them wet. didnt run the car til it was completely dry and even then i just drove it into my garage. today I was driving around the block , came home and when i got out my car i heard a slight hissing sound. Popped the hood and in the middle of my header at the top in between the 2 nuts there was a little bit of brownish clear liquid, almost like dirty water. it was coming up out the top middle of the header gasket, I also notice a very slight amount of air coming out.
im guessing my header needs to be either tightend or i need a new gasket. anyone got an idea what this could be ? do you think when i cleaned the engine some water went thru tthat small leak and that was jus it coming back out?
it didnt smell like oil and it evaporated really quickly
oh and I have dc sports header, is it able to use a oem gasket ? (engine side)
