Re: Oil Leak Problem

The valve cover itself may have a crack in it.

As for the leaks underneath, check the oil pan (where it mates to the block) and the turbo oil return tube.

+1. If you overtightened any of the bolts in the "spark plug valley" of the valve cover, it may have cracked. Also, if you have an aftermarket oil pressure gauge and you're seeing good pressure, I wouldn't worry about an aftermarket pump.
