head or motor? in the S1's i think the idler pully's sometimes got drilled to deep and hit an oil ahh Jacket? and they'd gush oil no matter what.
all in all the VCT motors are prone for oil leaks.
BUT. i've herd they heads flow pretty well and are ported a fair bit. thats why to port them more you really need a decent size cam in them. (which is pretty hard to find anyway. hahaha) and then turbo them makes them good.
