Head Gasket

Anyone ever had to replace theirs? Mechanic is trying to convince me that mine might be leaking from the rear. Waiting until I can see a picture.

I leaking valve cover gasket could possibly make same leak on back of block. Only sure way to know is clean real well, add Florensent dye to oil and watch with a black light bulb. Good luck.
PS. Seems I recall you’re in California? 335dlci moving back to SoCal soon.
