Default Oil leak near, driver sid enear cyl 1 and 2

hey guys i just recently put a 2jzge in my sc and its boosted, anyways i have an oil leak on the drivers side near cyl 1 and 2, anyone care to share what might be around there i need to look for?

i dont believe its my oil filter housing as that would only cover the lower part of the block with oil but i will replace that gasket AGAIN

valve cover gasket is the only guess i can think of since you dont think its the oil filter housing.

Well those are the the basic things on the intake side of the engine. Unless its leaking from the head gasket.

You suck. That's based on this thread where you want people on the internet to tell you where a leak is coming from because you're being lazy, and the e85 injector thread which reminds me that in this one you are possibly not being lazy, but completely stupid. Which one is it?

lazy and stupid huh.. wow guess we cant be all grown ups, anyways i simply was wondering where on the drivers side of the block are common leaks because its not my valvecovers, or my oil pressure sending unit , hoping not my oil filter housing considering that was a new gasket, but i changing that tomorrow to see if by any chance it could be that if not then im going to have to go with it being the front main seal and the wind blowing it back

and for being lazy? i work long hours maintaining and flying military helicopters so i dont get much time to fiddle with my car what ever free time i get is spent skyping my wife who is currently deployed

I wish I had your answer!
Good Luck!
