Hunting for leaks
Took off my HE's yesterday to tighten some oil lines and just have a look around. I noticed that oil stains were in between the fins on the cylinder heads and two appear warped/cracked. The car does not leak much oil, the annoyance for me is the smoke from oil landing on top of HE's. Could the oil becoming from the oil sending unit? Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks to all for making this site rock! I posted some pics.

Probably not oil pressure sender leak on that side of the engine(pic 2and 3), would need to see pic's of the top of the engine, is there oil on top?
Looks a bit like through bolt seals or cylinder head seals ???

Thanks Cyrstal Cranks, I removed my intake manifolds last week and noticed a little oil on the tray by the oil pressure sender but didn't think it was bad enough to go and order a gasket. I too think its the heads and the through bolt seals. Thanks for your thoughts.
