Oil leak took car to dealership after sitting for 2 months they said my valve cover was leaking and not covered under ext warranty. Well I've replaced it before. So I pulled it off again. And it seems the cam cradle is leaking in the back corner has anyone ran into this problem?

Recently noticed an oil leak on my passenger side at the rear of the motor. I haven't investigated too far and suspect the cam cover (hoping it's not a crank or cam seal). Will degrease and pressure wash once the weather gets a little warmer.

Mine has had a leak on the back passenger side for over a year now, not the cam seal as I just changed the TB and it was no sign of the cam seal leaking.
Hope to find the source when I change my DPF next month.
