Check that turbo banjo bolt that sits near where the dip stick tube connects to the block. At startup I had a leak there because mine wasn't tightened. Pics if possible!

I'd also agree with that because I had a leak from there as well. I didn't tighten mine ftl.

Well I'm the smart one cause I actually tightened mine before startup! lol I have a leaky front main though the only damn seal I didnt replace lol cause I didnt have an air gun to get the bolt off while it was on the floor, have the new seal right here though I just gotta install it.. noobs

Yeah, runs great I couldn't ask it to run better, besides the crappy bov that kinda works (now that I cut the spring inside; still has some problems though haha) how's yours running?
