to tell you the truth im not sure?,i got the engine from the engine builder with the lower on?....is this not good?!?What gasket did you use? Are your heads and/or intake milled?
positive....it was coming out of the 2 bolts in that pic,pulled them out,they were oily down to the threads,sealed them and put them back in....no leaks anywhere else...Are you sure it is not leaking from the top of the valve cover.
yes thats mine,and i have no egr....there is no oil around that area though?,but i need to know if its normal if you take the 2 middle bolts out to have oil on them?,i havnt taken an intake off for a while so i cant remember?....looks like it might be coming from the lifter valley maybe?,no issues whats so ever,just had some oil sitting on top in the crevasses in the pic.Is that your engine above? Do you still have your EGR functioning?
If so, it looks like you forgot to cut the centre out of the gaskets for the EGR port and it's probably starting to build up oil and sludge in the area and is starting to seep?
In any case, I'd pull the upper off and retorque the lower to about 15-18lbs ft.
as far as i know yes ,ill double check,lets just say those two bolts were a little loose?,would that give me that issue?,i dont have any water leakage or any water in the oil?,runs great?it sound to me like there is excessive positive pressure in the crankcase, is your PCV system operating properly?
really hey?,engine still under warranty,i can do it my self but still,i really was hoping it was because the bolts were loose?!,they came undone fairly easily?Hope for a Stuck PCV valve and be prepared for the gasket to need fixed later.
thats what im going to do thanks,after sealing them,i dont see any more oil....now,i did take the 2 bolts completely out,and i put sealer around the inside of the heads...do you guys think i contaminated the fluids now by pulling them out?!Like I said , retorque all of the bolts and see if it stops.

Next time you just want a comforting answer, please tell us ahead of time and I can give you either the best case scenario or a complete line of hooey. Your choice. Yes, you may stop the leak for now, and it might be OK by just keeping an eye on it for quite a while. But I found retorqued, leaking gaskets eventually leak again.
Here is what you may have wanted to hear. The valve train fairy spilled a little oil while keeping your rocker arms quiet. There is nothing to worry about.
