Some oil dripping from here

If you search around the forum, you'll see plenty of comments like "It's an FE, it's supposed to leak", or "It wouldn't be normal if it didn't leak". Probably even see "An FE was designed to leak". Although some guys have managed to have a dripless FE, I think that's the minority...

So, probably nothing to worry about.

Over the years I have gotten my drip (in the identical spot as Mils) down to a dime sized puddle that only appears about half the time. For an FE that is Sahara Desert Bone Dry.

The best one I heard was:

Q: How do you know when an FE engine is out of oil?
A: It stops leaking.

It's marking it's territory.
