when i done the head gasket on the car i never got the head skimmed.

now i've noticed a oil leaking out of the bottom right corner where the gasket lies.

the car has not been for a run longer than 5mins a day since doin the head.

i've also noticed a little mayo in the filler cap again.

am i gonna have to do the head again and get it skimmed this time??

How did the Old Gasket look, and what was the exact cause of the failure the first time, was it gasket or head?

Also, did you but genuine GM?

you should get it tested! it could have warped, in which case you will have to get it skimmed, or it may have craked, which = replacemnt time :(
