Well guys, I'll be spending part of the day tomorrow putting in a new set of cam seals. 1500 Miles on the motor and the oil pressure light got me. Shut off the car, and put some oil in it that I had in the back. Once I got it home I checked it out, and the back of head was damp with oil on the passenger side behind the timing cover. (across from the notorious HG leak.) It has gotten down on the serpentine belt and it threw oil on top of the hood and valve cover. Anyway, it's leaking down and dripping off the oil pan and filter and leaving a small puddle. I've already fixed an O Ring issue between the oil filter housing and bed plate.

Guess I'll be getting a new timing belt as well, just to be on the safe side since oil has gotten on it. The joys of a DSM.

Gotta get it right this time! :thumb:
