86 325E head gasket oil leak........retorque the head with new bolts.

New head gasket at 44K miles........

Now 120K miles I see a little oil leaking from the exhaust side at the
gasket in the front.....

If I replace the hex bolts with torx heads and retorque to spec........

Anyone BTDT ( been there done that.....?)

Regards,

Henri
