 I was riding my 86 Fj yesterday and at one point I looked down and I seen oil on my boot. Oh no, I know I have an issue with valve cover weaping a bit but nothing like this. So trying to find the smoking gun has been an issue. Looks like one of my oil lines is wet and motor up top plastic ducts show oil on them. I put cardboard around the wet oil line and wiped everywhere I could, I put a fan on and started the engine, oil was dripping down exhaust side from center of block right at the  1188cc stamp. So I wiped that off and tried again. It looks like oil is coming out of #3 exhaust fin just above the 1188cc stamp. I thought is it leaking up top so bad and does the fj have tiny holes for water to drain off the head and this is oil coming down or is it leaking from head gasket. Bike is running great. Need help
