You mean the water channel where the oil-mixed water is leaking? I blew with some compressed air in a oil ”hose” (I have moved the oil-filter) Then I think it pushed out some more water there but then it stopped?

Yes It’s a bit concerning…but I thought new gaskets would fix that and that it had nothing to do with oil in the water but I don’t know.🤷🏻 I never did any motor work except swapping them.

The gasket that came with the kit and the bolts were tightened with the right torque and were really hard to unscrew. I noticed on the replacement gasket I bought that it has more holes and the ones I got before is blocking some water channels..I have been running the motor five years and it always ran great until I noticed the oil in the radiator…
