My NA6 has as really tiny "weep" from the rear of the head gasket. The Mazda mechanic thought it might be the CAS, but confirmed it is an extremely tiny head gasket leak. He recommended leaving it alone, as the engine is in pretty good order and he was concerned about pulling the engine apart to do a new head gasket. There is no drip. It is just a very small wet back on the backside of the engine. Would everyone agree it is best to leave it alone, given that it is more a visual problem than a major leak?
