oil leak... need help asap

[nissan-fanatic]

Ok have multiple problems. I just started leaking motor oil from somewhere but idk where to start looking cuz the egr, hoses, intake mani and the injector closest to the firewall are all soaked. As well as the side of the block too. Where should i start looking? I know it cant be the valve cover gasket cuz I just replaced that the other day.

check the valve cover gasket again.. you could've messed it up when you replaced it

Wats the order I was suppose to tighten the bolts on it? Cross crossed right? Starting from the center?

Also there's small puddles on the bolts and intake mani. Could the valve cover Hawley really cause that?

check turbo oil line bolts?

[pacotaco345]

If he has egr I doubt he has a turbo. But anyways, since the valve cover is at the top of the motor, if it leaks you could get oil anywhere. Also the gasket may be tight but if you pinched an edge or something its still gonna leak so just check to be sure.

Edit: when you tighten them (at least what i do) i finger tighten everything, snug it all down, then give each bolt an extra half turn. I start in the middle and go out.

Turned out being the valve cover gasket... Thanks for the help guys
