Jim,
Its probably worth your while to identify the leak source.
- Clean the area thoroughly. Simple Green, some light scrubbing if its really bad, and rinsing should do it.
- If you don't already have a multi-jointed inspection mirror, get one.
- Run the engine up to temperature, while keeping a close eye on the suspect area with your mirror and lots of strong light.

Its highly likely that the source will be visible. With this info, you can make your call. Eric S builds good engines, BTW!
