I think that there is oil leaking out from between the head and the block....its an 87' N/A with 180K. It also runs a little rough when it warms up...does this sound like it could be a blown Head Gasket?
Tell me if you think this could be a HG issue.

you sure its not the cam cover gaskets? On something this old and dirty I would think it could be hard to pin point it to between the head and block or anywhere for that matter.

I have replaced the VC gaskets, oil pressure sending unit, Dizzy o-ring and I am still getting oil from somewhere...I saw it like it had been sprayed onto the exhaust heat shield.:aigo:
if its on the heat shield then it would have to be above where the block and head meet...it could be the oring on the distributer, mine is leaking there though its on a turbo so I don't have a distributer but should have a oring but its not spraying just dripping down.
Dude...., this sounds like the blind leading the blind. LOL.
Go to orielly auto and get some oil dye. Take your blacklight after cleaning and driving for a bit. It'll lead you right to it. I am so glad these cars are easy to work on. Good Luck.

Yes I agree. UNless you can see it when you clean it and that means the engine bay, as well. Just clean it up with dw40. Wipe everything. The cleaner it is the faster you'll locate the leak. If you foul out, the engine dye is under 10$, ya falla.
