Oil leakage: Where? Clean the engine and find out. Could be leaking past the oil cooler seals or from the case breather. I know from personal experience if the engine has experienced a good amount of detonation a crack will form in the case on the rear side of the #4 cylinder... :( Valve covers need new gaskets? Poor seal from push rod tubes?
