Leaky Leaky

Hey guys, looks like my 95 is leaking more than just oil.

Appears to have the intake manifold leak, and it seems to be leaking gasoline from somewhere near the rear of the car.
Gas is the only fluid that makes those wavy circles when it leaks into water right?

It ticks a bit... sounds like the top end of the motor though, ill look at things when I do the manifold.

Think it would be worth swapping lifters while im in there?

Unless I'm mistaken Oil will leave those same 'wavy circles', atleast every oil leaking hunk of chit I've ever ran across did.

There is so much oil under there I can't tell.
