Recently did valve guides and had both heads off. Put back togeter, and now there is an oil leak. I've done the intake 3 times now (last time I used RTV between the heads), and played with the driver's side valve cover.
I can drive 500mi and only loose 1/2 a quart, but if I go around the block and hit the brakes hard a couple of times I'll loose a 1/2 quart.
It looks like it's coming from behind the bracket that holds the alternator, tensioner and A/C to the block. Oil eventually accumulates on top of the timing cover. Oil is only running down the driver's side. I've also replaced the cam sensor's o-ring, the valve cover gasket, the intake, and made sure the front cover bolts were all tight.
Is there something that would leak heavily under braking that is on the front of the head? Oh yea, this is a TTA.
