towards the front.
as for the spark plug galley. yes i replaced the valve covers. no they are not over torqued. I had the screws back in for now. I did remove and put in oil pan plug gaskets under the 14mm bolts holding on the valve covers. but not to the ones inside the galley.
i was addressing 2 leaks. one on the intake side towards the front. and the one in the galley. sorry I just lumped it all together there. my mistake.
I can not determine if the intake side leak is coming from below the lower plenum or just under the upper but i can clearly see it pooling and dripping. just cant locate the source. the entire underneath twords the front on the intake side is coated with oil. .. defiantly explains my 1qt monthly leak.
I also have smoking on the turbo side of the engine near my cps. I have the gasket and O ring sitting in my garage but havent found time to replace that yet. I know im needing to rebuild my 140k engine. but just havent the time or another DD atm. ;( so i have to troubleshoot and repair as problems arise. but other than the mysterious oil leak from the depths of my block. all is really well.
