I've got a 93 Divvy with a very bad oil leak.

After cleaning the carbs I was getting ready to balance them, the bike ran well until the oil pressure light came on.

Big pool of oil on the floor, started it again and it was literally pouring out of the front of the engine in between the fins above the down pipes. It was like a stream of oil, so it was under pressure.

I've stripped the head off and can only see the issue being the oil seals around the head bolts, they were very corroded.

Am I looking in the right area or could there be another issue?
