Alright, so I just finished my turbo build. I took off the head, had it degreased, installed new headgasket, profile gasket, timing case gaskets, etc. Put it all back together. Small leaks here and there, I fixed a couple, there's what appears to be some seepage from the valve cover on the bottom right when looking at the cover. I was pissed. But whatever. That was the only oil leak.
Then I take it to my uncle's (this is when I assume I started having problems). I scraped on his driveway pretty good. Thankfully it wasn't the oil pan. It was the exhaust. Right after the downpipe. Pretty sure that ever since then I've had an enormous oil leak. The intake manifold looks wet by injector #1.
It smells like fuel, but that could be because in removing the high pressure fuel line last week it sprayed fuel all over the IM. All the injectors appear to be seated properly. Oil is practically everywhere on the bottom of the engine, so it's a bit hard to trace.
I cranked the oil pressure sending unit on further, because I believe it to have been possibly leaking a bit.
I'm at a loss for what could possibly be spraying oil in such a fashion in that area. Mind you, I haven't been driving the car hard at all. No WOT yet, or even close. Oil is definitely coming from the top of the driver's side of the engine, it runs all the way down and has puddles of it.
