Hopefully it's now time to put stuff back together.....last item opened, replace valve cover gaskets AGAIN! Was done not too long ago but one is leaking.
No OF COURSE I am paranoid about the electric secondary coolant pump. LOL....

update. Rear seal and flange are on.
Today he was working on the oil pan upper and lower and oil cooler.
We got a great look at the cylinders and the surfaces look new. No groves or evidence of wear. Timing change looks fine as does the tensioner. He was cleaning every speck of the old sealant from the surfaces of the oil pain parts, etc, before reassembly.

Glad to see it coming together! You did cam tensioner pads a while back right? Cheap and easy to do since it's open, just wanted to double check.

Yes, they were done when I had the new intercooler and valve cover gaskets done. LOL.. I was not charged for the parts....love that!
Wire harness was fixed also.
FYI, Iswing, the tuner in Syracuse (Cantech) is now an APR dealer (new since last June).

Just read the entire thread while panicking since I have a mystery leak.
Different location, drips just inside and in front of drivers front tire.
after looking under the car tonight I can see the drivers side cv is leaking (inner side)
and I have two lights on the dash- traction control and ABS.
Need to to do more research.
But- your thread is awesome to read. Time for more Bourbon.
Gentleman,
Those darn CV boots are a mess!
You have to figure out what fluid it is. Color, odor, taste,etc.
Rotten Egg smell us usually the differential fluid which can leak out at the output seal of the transmission on the side where the front shaft comes out. I had a leak just like you are describing on the passenger side. The drive axel on the passenger side is a little easier to remove. The sell all sizes of replacement seals to accommodate for wear in that part. It's a dark fowl smelling thick fluid.
Oil from that side can be as simple as the valve cover gasket and the drivers side is the easy side to replace, but after seeing the engine out I can see that the insert for the dipstick can also leak as that seal is only an o-ring.
Power steering pump and reservoir are on that side too as well as the master brake cylinder.
