hey guys i have a crazy oil leak. the whole front on the motor from right below the exhaust manifold to lower oil pan. if i spray it off with water and dont hit any boost it dose not leak from what i can see.
now if i hit boost it starts to leak. ac com. is covered the hood cause it getting on the belt. dump pipe has oil on it to. the coolent hard line that runs across the front of the motor right under the altornator. its like it not a leak but a spray. its like its gettin blown everywhere. i cant find where its leaking cause its just everywhere.
all the oil fittings have no sign of oil leaks. feed and drain.
i was thinking maybe i have a leaking headgasget maybe? is it possible for it to leak oil only in the front and no lose of coolent or coolent in my oil.
only running 8.5 psi. i dout im getting head lift. never had any problems with the blower at 12psi. also the valve cover it not at all connected to the intake or manifold.
any ideas what i can do to find this leak?

Your dipstick might be leaking... The o ring on the dipstick likes to blow...
You can also put dye into your oil to figure the leak out...

have someone sit in the car, and rev it while you look under it.
its best to do this on a lift, and raise the car with someone in it. but, you can do it on the ground, just more dangerous lol.

^^ well i thought it was the dip stick. got a new o ring still does it but not as bad?? kinda funny. and i clean the motor kurt and had it running for about 30mins and even reving and hold 3k for a while and does not leak. go for about 6min drive no hard driving and dosent not really leak just a drop here and there. then on the way back from the 6min drive( hard driving) motors covered. fuck im going crazy.

Did you have the valve cover off?
also, Just have some one bounce the car off limiter for a few secs. that will create some boost.
see what happens.
Also, is your dipstick blowing out of the hole?
