I have been chasing a leak for quite some time. Figured it was the rear main since the drip ends up coming from the flywheel dust shield. So I decide to try one more thing and replace the valve cover gaskets, cheap, can't hurt. I used Felpro cork. Installed them dry using the tabs to hold them onto the valve cover. Cleaned everything up and went for a 30 minute drive to get everything warmed up and flowing good. Parked in a clean concrete driveway for 20 minutes. Came outside and VOILA, no oil leak on the ground. This is good! Still have an issue with the turbo drainback block fitting though.
 
Since they have been through a heat cycle, check the tightness of the bolts.
