    Only a quarter size? Sounds like you're well within factory spec!

    It took me a while but i finally got to take the car somewhat apart and got to take some pictures. By doing that, i think i found the leak, from the driver side valve cover gasket, front lower corner and perhaps the back of the same valve cover gasket as well. I posted some pictures. There is also oil that is dropping on top of the intercooler hose on that side (that is why i am suspecting the back of the valve cover gasket as well), which makes me wonder if the intercooler is also going bad and some of the oil is actually coming for the intercooler itself? What do you guys think? The passenger side intercooler is dry, just FYI. Either way, it looks like i will have to get a new hose, it is soft and not in the best shape at all.
