hey guys i know this is a very broad subject to touch on and i dont really know if you guys can help me out with my problem but any thing helps. so me n my pops rebuilt my 7mgte and when when everything was finished and when we got the car running it started to leak oil it was a little bit at the beginning but now its a lot of oil that is being leaked. it leaks pretty bad it doesnt look like its coming from the head area idk if that makes sense but the fan in the front is covered with dry oil and as well as under the intake it seems to be covered with oil. the other area where theres alot of oil pan and all the hoses. if you guys can help me out with some common things that usually cause oil leaks that would help. thanks.

I have heard rumors of people using the wrong stud or bolt somewhere that's too long and cracking through the front timing plate that you have machined with the block.... Hopefully not but is somewhere to check
