I have an oil leak at the front and rear of my motor that I just installed. I thought it was my oil pan so I redid the gasket. It is still leaking. I noticed oil on the front of the motor above the timing cover so I think my china wall gaskets arent sealing. It is only drips its leaving in the front but a small puddle in the rear. Could the rear be coming from the intake too? It has new seals and gaskets all around but I wish I didnt use the rubber china wall gaskets and just went with silicone.

If the engien is fresh and clean, you should be able to use a hand light and mirror, etc., to inspect the areas under the intake end seals. Even with the rubber gaskets, a little bead of RTV above and below is a good idea, but that's water under the bridge at this point.
