Hemi Head Oil Leaks

KBhemi w/ Brad fuel heads. After a race I drain the oil and wipe down the underside from pulling the valve covers after each round. However the next day there will be oil on the floor. Will wipe underside again and again...still will leak after sitting all night and has NO oil in the motor! Finally inspected a little closer and I think the source of the leak is the three lower rocker stand bolts are letting oil seep through and out the header flange. Not sure how other heads are but these have openings between the exhaust ports and you can see the bottom of these rocker stand bolts. Is it okay to put a little silicone on the threads before installing these bolts? How do most seal them up? So tired of oil everywhere

Oil leaking Hemi

I used to think my BBC leaked oil til I bought a hemi. I think the only time mine doesnt leak is when its at the machine shop......Even then I have to wonder....lol

Not sure on the Brad heads but we had to make my Veney oil returns a little bigger. It still leaks.....
