terrible oil leak, help...

[custom e30]

i put my m20 back together it has a cosmetic head gasket and arp head studs...yes its turbocharged... everything works fin and the car is running great, but i have a huuuge oil leak in the front of the engine towards the top of the engine.

i think it is the cam seal but i cannot actually find the source, i was wandering if anyone had a idea of something i might have missed, it is so bad that it covers my water pump, alternator, and all the belts, and n0ow my alternator will not send a charge.....when i get done driving the car, i have about a quart of oil covering the front of my engine,


any ideas guys???

-Cam seal

details on the rocker shaft plez?

Four small rubber plugs that fit in the head. Pull the valve cover and look at the ends of the rocker shafts where they almost touch the head.

I vote rocker shaft plugs. When they get old from all the heating and cooling, they get hard and brittle. You may have forgotten to put one or more in as stated before so get in there and check them out.
