Wierd oil Leak? Help

[cesupra]

I have this odd build up of oil type stuff on my exhaust manifold that i can't figure out where its coming from. Has anyone seen this or have an idea what this may be? Can anyone help me please?

CPS or distributor O-ring is leaking...

Looks like it came from either valve cover gasket or cps .

CPS...

and I hope you use your stock heatshields, unless you want to blow a coolant line or fry your wiring on that side of the engine (ask me how I know). Looks like there is antisieze on those studs, but can't really tell, so sorry if you do use em and I didn't notice...

Thank you all for the feedback so far, yes I do use my heat shields. I just took em off for the purpose of trying to figure out the oil leak. I'll look into the CPS o-ring.

What do your heat shields look like? I had a drip from the hose that goes up to the 3000 pipe. I was told it is from oil vapour that by-passed the seals in the turbo. I tightened up the hose clamps and everything is good now.

Sounds like you're talking about the PCV system. Doesn't look like it could possibly be at fault in this case.
