Made my trip to Mexico, everything went good (see pics) Didnt have any trouble, weather was good, camping was great.
Quick question, when i got back i went to change the oil and noticed oil leaking off the back exhaust area on both sides of the motor (see pics). I figured out that it was coming from the intake manifold area, when i parked in my sloped driveway, I can barely see anything on top of the manifold (too many hoses) there appears to be something just behind the oil filter down in the valley,oil is might be coming from this i couldnt see for all the obstructions.
Any way anybody got any guess as to what leaks oil in the valley area that might be worth looking at.
Not sure if i caused this, i was rolling at about 95MPH for an extented period of time on my return trip maybe i pushed to hard for too long ??????

I had oil in the valley that dripped down the back of the motor from oil pushing out the x pipe couplers. took that out cleaned it up and reinstalled with hair spray and immediately did the CCV mod so that would never happen again.

No i guess i didnt word that too well, but i really have an oil leak coming from the valley and dripping down the back of each head, i was just looking for some common items to look at, i will check the CCV as stated, although im not sure what the hair spray is for maybe somebody could elaborate on this cleaning technique????
