I have just under 3000miles on a fresh motor heads gone through 6 new valves all new guides RCD high rev valve springs and RCD chromo push rods. All new internals besides crank and rods with RCDs stg1 cam. Sorry for the long intro just trying to give you all the details. So the other day I came up to a light and my truck started to rough idle. Pulling away everything seemed fine the about 3 miles down the road I started up about a half mile hill with maybe a 2% incline I was at about 1/4 throttle and 15 psi boost when everything went to ****. The more throttle I gave it the less she wanted to go. Till finally it died. So I poped the hood and found an oil spot on the center of my hood. And oil all around the intake elbow and oil filter cover (neither have leaks) I check the oil level and its sitting right on the full mark. Closed the hood fired right back up no problems since. Besides the oil spot on the hood is reoccurring. And I can find the leak. No codes....
