Leaky Slant 6

It is rare for a head gasket to leak oil to the outside. My 1996 Chrysler 2.4L did that, as most did. They came out with a multi-layer steel (MLS) gasket which fixed it, but I haven't heard of an MLS gasket for a slant. I haven't heard of such an oil leak in slants, but most are a bit oily on the passenger side anyway from either the valve cover or leaks around the "drool tube" spark plug tubes (which your 82 head doesn't have). If nothing here, post on www.slantsix.org where some experts are.
