New problem under manifold

[Crazy4408pac]

When I got back from a run, I noticed bubbling in the area I have circled. Any ideas as to what's leaking?
Thanks

That is the heat cross over, for the stock intake - heats the carb up in the winter - also operates the choke on a stock setup..

I would look for a valley pan that has block off's for it and change it out..

You probably just have some oil residue in the cooling area. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

That's nothing to worry about...

Have you tried putting sealer on those two center intake bolts on each side so the oil doesn't "wick up" the threads???

There is very hot exhaust in there.

I do have a block off valley pan installed. This is something that just appeared. Never was there, before.

i have those issues also...ignore it.

That passsage starts at an exh port. You may not have flow, but the head side gets extremly hot. I've had bubbling int here before too. Unless you experience a loss of coolant I wouldn;t sweat it. All kinds of junk goes down in that area.

If you have cleaned you engine recently or had a fuel line off or run through a puddle... anything can accumulate in there and cook off.

tighten the intake bolts.

I'd guess just some blow-by pushing a little oil into it over time.
Unless you're overheating, as everyone else see's it, no biggy.
Cool it off and re-torque the bolts.

Thanks for all the info. Re-torqued all the bolt. Some were quit loose. No problem since.
