Default oil leak...

well its been about 3 months since my h/c swap and here recently i have been noticing about once every week maybe even 2 weeks i get a bit of oil leakage on the front of the passenger side heads to block area...its not bad but the other side isn't doing it and i'm just wondering if this is something to prepare for in the future....

Can you see exactly where it's coming from?

Valve cover gasket leaking, spilled oil during refill, PCV valve tubing not sealed are the first things I'd look for.

if its none of those things it could be your head gasket, this recently happened to a buddy's car, not ls1 but we beleive the head gasket is seaping at higher rpm's, leaks oil all down the block below the head on pass. side!
