Just finished rebuilding the 1974 1600DP, and put it back in. Breaking it in, runs great, save a cracked fuel pump insulator and a couple of other small problems I had to fix. Noticed that my oil strainer cover is leaking a bit, I will replace that. But I also noticed that my cylinders appear to be leaking at the head joint. Not a whole lot of oil, mind you, just some drops, but there appears to be some coming out. I appears to be mixed with a bit of gas, since it is eating some of the tin paint. Is this normal? I have only put about 50 miles on it so far. Will it seal up on it's own after a while? Not all of them are leaking, I think it is just #2 and #4. Please advise.
