Mysterious Oil Leak Problem Options

[turbohcar]

As all good DSMs do, mine leaks. It's leak of choice is oil, mainly around the front of the motor. I took some pics and have some ideas but others I'm just stumped. If you have a suggestion, please chime in. The motor was recently rebuilt and all gaskets replaced.

Here you see my exhaust manifold, which is somehow damp with oil. Don't ask me how, I don't know.

And here you can see a small, thin layer of oil making its way down the side of the motor. It doesn't look all that significant, but it still shows up. It starts near the valve cover and goes all the way down to the oil pan. The valve cover gasket and oil cap gasket are new.

Here you can see a drip off the oil cooler and near the oil pressure sending unit. and strangely, my brothers upper half. I plan on replacing the clamps there. The hose is brand new. Everything that is shiny or looks a little darker than others has a thin layer of oil on it.

Please help if you have any ideas.

Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing...I'm sure that a correctly manufactured cylinder head will not leak oil from the exhaust manifold stud holes. I have seen many people running their ex-man with studs missing all together due to the aluminum head being striped out. I've personally never seen oil from these stud holes.

I concur. One of my upper manifold holes is actually held in by a bolt that isn't bottomed out against the chamfer. I don't see any oil from this hole.

I could see the manifold holes being near an oil passage and drilling too far into an oil passage, but for them to actually meet the oil passage from the factory would be a nasty engineering snafu.

I've replaced all the studs on my head twice and have never seen any oil. What year is your head, Brett?
