help! oil leaking from driver side header xp I've been running from one thing to another and is making me sick. so here I am again asking for your wisdom. after getting the heads and intake all together because of a blown head gasket I decided to get rid of the clumsy manifolds and I got pacceter LT headers. well on the passenger side the header hit the floorpan like **** and I'm so tired than I am not thinking to take everything apart and replace the motor mounts even if I had to. I turned the car on and everything seems fine. After a few minutes the SES light goes on and off. I jack the car up, remove o2 from headers and the driver side is completely covered in fresh oil. the oil is running right from the head down tru the header. intake manifold was properly installed with rtv on the walls and felpro gasket on the side. what else coud it be?
and sorry for my grammar but english is my second language

the intake is properly sealed . I've done it twice. I looked around everywhere and no sign of the leak but the driver side header is full of oilthat doesn't come from out side.
yeah its gonna get hot dude. You have an explosion happening a few inches away every second. Plus aftermarket headers are made out of a thinner metal. Stock Cast iron is thicker and retains heat more. Your worrying way to much.....
check the valve cover again.....
