Leaking oil from the rear of my engine. Can some explain where the oil leak may be combing from. There are a few really wet pieces under there.

WOW. Maybe you can brake cleaner everything, getting all of the oil off and try to trace it another day.

Good Luck!

Thanks and that’s a great idea. I noticed the bolts on my valve cover were a bit loose so I hand tightened them. Don’t know what torque, so just did the ol nice and snug philosophy. Seems to be leaking a lot less oil but still not convinced that is the location.

Think I read the valve cover bolts are 7lbs, but not sure. Snug sounds good to me! It the leak noticeable on the dipstick level?

So Ive decided to replace my valve cover gasket as i noticed oil leaking from around the gasket. When I took off the hose tat goes to my turbo (maybe the breather hose) i noticed a little washer just sitting by the breather valve. Does anybody know what this valve does and how this would effect my performance? The washer came from inside the black hose and it looks like somekind of valve is in there,.
