I just replaced the head gasket on a 96 2.5 TL. My problem is there is still a very small amount of steam coming from the head close to the distributor cap. The car was almost given to me and I am trying to learn, and do all of the work myself. My questions are: Should I pull the head back of and replace the head gasket again? Can I leave it like it is, sense it is only a small leak? Is this normal when replacing a head gasket, and it will seal on its own? Can I torque the head bolts tighter to stop the leak?


Thanks for any help
