evo with oil pressure problem
I have a 2007 S and S evo motor bought brand new. First it started leaking at the primary side on the main shaft. That seal was replaced. Then it started leaking from valve cover gaskets. They were all replaced. Now it is leaking from the ignition side, in front of the cam cover. It seems like the oil seeks out the weakest spot, can I have too much oil pressure or does it seem like a venting problem.
Thanks newbie

Very doubtful anyone has ever had a problem with too much oil pressure unless the return line is restricted and though you can't rule out a venting problem, sounds like just "one of those things" that you've had seal and gasket problems.

If your using synthetic oil, it will leak worse than conventional oil will but you most likely have gasket issues! My 1988 evo, 80 ci pegs the needle when cold & runs at 30 pounds at operating temp with no leaks. I have 45,000 miles on it.
