[QUOTE="ccmac, post: 1001867, member: 14902"] Recently I put in a 38r with ww2 and new riffraff boots. After the initial test drive I noticed some leaking oil. Upon further inspection I noticed the top pedistal orings had seeped some oil. Not thinking any different I ripped it all back apart and installed new orings. Now the pedestal isn't leaking but I still have oil leaking down the back of my motor somewhere. It's building up on uppipes and dripping down oil filter. My other assption was that it could be a bad turbo but when it was off there was no oil in the turbine housing, nor has there been oil in the down pipe. Today I checked the service plug in the head for leaks and it is clean. I'm at a loss for where this leak could be coming from. Is it possible I bent a valve cover with my body weight at some point during the install and now it's seeping oil around the valve cover gasket? My pedestal bolts had a good amount of oil on them the second time I removed them, is there a possibility that the oil is coming out of the block around them? My valley doesn't have any new oil that that I can tell. I ordered a nice telescoping inspection mirror to aid in my search so I can see better than taking blind videos with my phone. Anyone else have any personal experience or pointers? [/QUOTE]
