KA-DE Nice Leak from where head and block connect.

[Pro ViZIon]

Hi i have a lame ass leak on the passenger side front of my motor where the head and block connect. I'm losing money everywhere. At first i thought it was the upper timing cover but its not. Its definitely from where I stated. I'm not burning oil or anything. Theres also no oil in the coolant. I really need to get this fixed. Car is my daily and I cant afford the oil anymore lol.

What im wondering is how this could be happening. It doesn't make any sense.

I was thinking maybe the heads not tight enough? I have arp head studs. But i wasnt sure as to how that would work. Also a cometic metal head gasket.

Head is an S14 and Block is a S13. Not sure if that is an issue.

Anyway thanks in advance.

The head is definitely on tight enough if you aren't getting oil in the coolant, nor coolant in the combustion chamber. This is just a thought but you might be able to get away with loading that spot up with JB Weld or high temp rtv. Maybe. If not then you will most likely need to replace the HG but that's worst case scenario.
