Oil leak on the new 914, thinking pushrod tubes or oil cooler? Filter is tight and valve covers seem dry. Any suggestions?

It may also be oil cooler seals, Just so happens I have my motor out, here's a pic. of where the sensor and cooler are in relation to the filter. Hope that it's not the cooler seals, you will have to pull the motor to replace

Can we PLEASE lay the fallacy that "you have to pull the motor to replace the oil cooler seals" to rest???

There is a classic thread on how to replace the seals (and even the cooler) without pulling the motor.

I know.. I have done it!
