I will look into that UV dye technique thank you for that information and as for the bolt nooo the bolt is dry and to be honest tonight I noticed the power steering pump was right above the area where I felt a little oil on the outside silicone seal so its entirely possible that a drop of oil might have dripped down and touched that small area because in my opinion if the upper pan was REALLY leaking I would have felt oil around more than just that one small area which I did not. Also there was oil below the runners of the headers and my engine is also slightly tilted to the right if your standing right in front of it because of how I mounted it up to my engine stand I was too lazy to mount it straight. To be honest I HIGHLY doubt it leaks and if by some freak accident I swap it in and start this thing and it does leak well then Ill support it with a hoist drop the subframe and redo it at that point but I already put my tomei manifold on it tonight and when my turbo comes back from the rebuild shop im just going to bolt it up and put it back in the car. I should have it running very soon I just need to buy fuel injectors, air intake, oil for the trans and engine, coolant, and a front mount so I will keep this thread updated for those curious. FWIW if your curious I go around the bolt holes when I make the silicone gasket seal and I spread it with my fingers nice and evenly I also use brake cleaner to clean the surfaces before hand and let it cure for like 6 days before turning the engine right side up again.
