okai. MY engine oil, powersteering and coolant was leaking pretty bad.... And i finally got the new powersteering in the car, so no more PS leaking problems.second, the coolant hose(heatercore) to the block was lose, so i tighted that up, so no more coolant leaks.the last one is OIL.... I did get a new Nismo Metal 1.2mm headgasket along with new headbolts fron Dee (thanks mann :)). and i did it right too. all the torque are what it supposed to be and everything. but seems like 3.7~4 qt of oil went in. and check the dip stick it was above the "Full line". anyways, I crank the engine, OIL LEAKS..... BADDDDD... so i checked it and it was oil feedline that was leaking bad.. so i fixed it with BETTER line, and clamped it really tight. becasue of the humongus leak, i pour one more qt (the leak from oil feedlinewas pretty bad and + i went for testdrive for about 10 mins.) . so got that fixed, and TARA!!! no more leaks........... went for testdrive punched it real hard too... still smokes, but i think its from wat its left on the piping + turbo. and i stoped the car, and ****TT... still oil leaks.... not that much but still.... so i checked it, damn... now its from under the intake manifold is... right under the STARTER. so.... any guess guyz?? i was dead tired so i stop working, but i need to figure it out asap. I was told by one of my good friend whos the BEST in SR20DET, that he thinks its PCD valve.... i dont understand how PCV valve can give me oil leak.. or... MAYBE... OIL OVERFLOW.... BECAUSE I POURED THE OIL ABOUT 3.5~4 WITHOUT OIL FILTER CHANGE. plus, i check the dip stick its all the way on full and prolly above it too..... GIVE ME SOME ADVICE PLEASE..... :(:(:(THANK YOU GUYS!!!

See if you can't get some pictures of where exactly its leaking the oil from. The only place it could be leaking oil from below the starter is if your oil pan isn't sealed correctly.
