lol..where are you from?? Im not a master mechanic or anything, but I would think the only place it could be from would be the valve cover. Im sure someone will chime in with some valuable info.

Re: oil leek on headders

Do you have a push in valve cover breather above your starter?

Yes but it's not comming from there it seems like a tight the engine side bolt of my starter too tight and crack the block to the oil galley....is that possible??
btw i'm french so my english is not that nice.

There are oil gallery plugs on the back of the block that could also be leaking and make it appear to be comin from the starter.

if you don't have your inspection cover on the transmission it could it be the oil pan is leaking at the back and the air from the flexplate spinning is throwing the oil over the starter?
