I got a pic. I am 99% sure it is not coming from the valve cover. That hose I pointed to is on REALLY tight, I dont see how it could be that




Oil puddles in yellow. They are small and have not been getting any bigger in the last few weeks.



Thanks :hail:

Coming from the intake manifold bolts. you need to put a sealer on them when you put them in, something like Permatex thread sealant with teflon.
