Default Crap!!
Well damn it, I was all happy because I just installed my pacesetter long tubes but now I got an oil leak(its pretty large). The thing is I cant see where it is coming from. It didnt leak like that before I changed the headers. The thing is I did the otvc wire mod and I did take out the driver side valve cover. Could that be whats causing it?? Damn it... this sucks...

Check valve cover gaskets and also check oil dip stick tube. It should have been taken out for the header install and sometimes no matter how careful you are they crack at the bottom going back in.

Do I check that gasket on the oil dip stick tube? And yeah I did take that out also of course. I should just check the gasket right?

Check the tube itself to see if it cracked where it goes into the block. I've seen this happen a few times.
