Your right. And I'm not seeing any, i cleaned it really good last night and that's where I'm seeing a leak. I contacted the previous owner and he said that oil was leaking from that line in the past and that's why there was silicone there already. I believe the line just need to be replaced now. I'm not sure why it looked weak on the seams of the head though. I'm not sure if it was oil or water, but since I cleaned it last night, it still looks really clean
