ahhh!!!! need some help

1)i just took my engine apart, changed every seal, even copper coated the head gasket, put it all back together and its still leaking from somewhere around the turbo or the back of the head and dripping onto the downpipe. its soooo annoying, i don't have any idea what it could be, i know its not the hg or valve covers/head plugs because i can see that whole area and its clean. do any of you have any clue what it could be? oh, i also had the head and deck checked for flatness at all angles, so i know its not that.

2)with a ca maf my engine idles puurrrfectly, i mean smooth as a baby's a** but for some reason it goes into safe mode. with a ka-e maf it idles pretty good and revs to the moon. just to make sure i wired it right, could someone with the ca maf look at their plug and see what color wires go to what letter on the plug, i don't have the ca plug so i had to use little connectors to hook up the maf, i have the fsm but it doesn't have the letters for the pins/wires (A B C D)

oh, btw, the stock internals are awesome! i didn't bother replacing any bottom end stuff (besides seals) because it all looked so good, even after running low on oil a few times.

Leaking oil?

If so, has the stud farthest back on the head been stripped out and helicoiled? If so, it is leaking oil from there.

i don't think so, i used all new oem head bolts and torqued them all to 79 ft lbs and they didn't feel like they were stripping at all, and it doesn't look like its leaking from the head gasket, as far as i can tell. its had this mystery oil leak ever since i got it, its weird.
