What did I screw up that's causing this to leak and how do I fix it. I think this is where the balance shaft tensioner pulley would have been prior to delete. Its leaking down all over everything.

So looks like I need you use this. Do you recommend this over the yellow tape or other thread sealants?

Put RTV on the threads of the bolt. I had an issue like that when I got my first DSM.
 
Sure, it had me puzzled on my first DSM. The RTV sealed it right up. Even if you have a BSE, you need to have RTV on that bolt to keep it from leaking.
