I put the 87 GN on jackstands tonight and looked for my oil leak( big puddle after I drive it about 11 miles). The pan is dry as a bone.......there is oil dripping off the crossover pipe, and there is oil on the flywheel cover, and of course the transmission pan. I checked the valve covers(dry) intake(dry)........about a month ago there was a small puddle of oil on my inter-cooler below the up-pipe.........The only mods I've done to it is a cold air kit, adjustable waste gate actuator (set to the stock length of the rod), Power Plate, adjustable fuel regulater (set to 40 lbs). Also, the car has a hissing sound when you accelerate at a nominal rate (like it is sucking air) which I attributed to the cold air kit.........Now when I get on it and produce boost(gotta love it ) when you let off the gas there is a sound like a valve opening and shutting real fast..........puck-ta-puck-ta
when i pull into my driveway the car leaves a continious stream of oil about 2" wide 15' long.
Could it be a vacum leak causing all this?? My oil pressure on a cold startup was 60 lbs and about 30 lbs after driving to work(11 miles) at idle........now oil pressure is around 15 lbs at idle after warm up....still cranks at about 60 at start up.
Could this oil problem be a turbo problem?? could I have a oil feed line blockage or oil return line blockage??
I got the felpro neoprene rear seal, RTV sealant , etc but I want to make sure I am tackling the correct problem.........
Any help will certainly be appreciated!!!
Thanks guys!!!

PS I called a mechanic who comes highly recommended by the OK GS club...He said $400 for labor plus the seals (front and rear).
