What is going on here. Left my car jackstanded on Pside overnight and woke up to this. Only oil on motor that is visable is bottom of value cover along edge. The car had 4 qts of BPBI Oil and has never been turned over. Car sat for tow days flat and jackstanded on Dside with out any leakage. This only appeared since last qt of oil was put in and car was jackstanded on Pside.
Valve cover gasket? It was put in on bench makes me think not but what else could this be? Thoughts, ideas, suggestions please as always thanks in advance Ken  |

If not you have an open hole in your engine case and it would have dribbled out when you added the last litre of oil. |

No Tstat but the guide wheel is in place I believe. Case bolt right?
It lost approx. 1/4 qt overnight. Dipstick right at full. Cleaned all up and Primed motor. Oil appeared along bottom VC below second PR tube back from front. PR tube/head area do not have oil on them. Just don't think gasket is kinked. Could the VC be bent is my line of thinking? Guess it's coming off either way... |

My money is you cut some of the head PR tube seals on install. head PR seals look like a VC leak.
You must sand the sharp edge around the head PR tube hole and spin the tube as you install to avoid cutting the seal. |

I really could be the cork gasket. Some of the quality products from overseas tend to not conform to the sahape well, lifting along the top or bottom and leaving a veritable hole.
