when i hit boost in my car which is a 420a running maybe 5 to 8 psi on stock everything now keep in mind this is only when i drive it there appears to be oil leaking from the valve cover on the drivers side but i just replaced the gasket with a Fel-pro yesterday. well i've been searching all afternoon and i can't find nothing except something on the breather thats on the valve cover so after i ran the car i pulled off the hose on it and theres no oil comming from there so im stumped and ideas?
 
Even with a new gasket on the valve cover its been known to still leak...

Try putting a layer of RTV sealant inbetween so make sure you have a good seal :thumb: (Recommended sealant : "Right Stuff" from Peramtex)

Other than that, can you take a picture of the oil leak so it will be easier to identify...
 
sure i hit the gasket with ultra copper before i put it on and on the valve cover there looks to be 2 holes where screws would go there threaded but no screws and it looks like oil is coming from one of those holes. but i have to wait for my g/f to here so i can use her camera
 
where are the holes located? its not spark plug cover holes is it? maybe a cracked valve cover. pics would be awesome. i hate oil leaks. (dont we all).
 
alright heres a pic its kinda shitty i took it on my sisters phone but it kinda seemed like the cam sensor seal was the leak but if you look right above the cam sensor you will see that threaded hole im talking about.
