Hey guys i have an oil leak on the passenger front and side of the motor after some hard pulls while data logging for my e45 map. Im wondering if anyone on here has delt with oil leaks similar to mine and what you have done. I ordered the dye and uv light to find out exactly where it is coming from but am at a loss after having a dual occ installed for years and never had a problem in the 5yrs since its been built. Btw im running a cst5 iwg on pi at around 28psi and all the supporting mods. Thanks.20230812_125556_HDR_Original.jpeg
 
Even with a good catch can setup you could still have excess pressure in the crankcase. Your getting into big boy horsepower territory so it wouldn't be a total shock

I found it today. It’s right behind the ps pump and its pretty bad. Im thinking either head gasket or injector seal possibly but not sure until i do a compression test on that cylinder right above the leak. Someone told me it could even be near the top of the timing cover before it meets the valve cover.
