Front Cover Oil Leak
What seals are prone or likely to go on the front cover? I have a pretty healthy leak that seems to be coming from the front cover near the OMP and travels up around the crank pulley. I have oil splatter on backside of the pulley and on the surrounding housing. I am 100% sure it is not oil retun line or turbo oil feed line leaking. Also, if you had experienced a similiar leak, what all did it involve? Is there anything else worth replacing while dug that low? Thanks for your help and tips!

You might want to talk to Pettit about what else to replace. It is a $1200 job for a $15 gasket. You have to pull most everything off the front of the motor. I believe the OMP lines are worth replacing if they are brittle.
