Hello everyone. I stayed away for a while. I'm back to my hometown and my lovely blue wagon.

First off I'm sorry I completly forgot to answer you back, RedArrow. I ran the car 1000 miles between the time I did the job on the TB.
It took one month for the oil to go that down.
So I put the car on jack stands, warmed up the motor , made it run on several gears.

I changed the head gasket.
It was new, but old. When the ex-owner gave it to me, one could see some rust colour on the eyelets. I could not have the round rim stick to the head right away when I put it.

Here is a photo.


Another important thing. I forgot to ask my friend who take the pic to give it to me afterwards, but some oil came BEFORE the leak you can see on the above pic , it was dripping on the pan and it came from the clutch bell (it has nothing to do with the matter; but I nearly lost a finger while tracking the leak on this spot, i felt the flywheel "pat" my finger )

I will post the pic from this other leak later in the morning.
