I have a Verada V6 that is leaking very frequent!!! It leaves big drops of oil on the drive way which has been on going for over a couple of months now. I first degreesed the motor top and bottom then topped up oil. Ran the motor for 10 mins then it started to leak very quicky just above the oil pressure switch. See pic of location circled in red. Now it maybe the rear cam oil seal but i have checked the main belt which appears to have no oil on it and motor runs fine to be skipping a tooth.

Does anyone have any ideas?

oh have fun... :P
are you taking the head off for the valves? or doing the dodgy method and leaving it on?
if ur taking it off i would suggest getting them skimmed.. before you put them back..

Will be leaving the heads on. Have done it plenty of times on the 4G54's and 4G63's. Old school scorpions and starions. I havent played with the 6G72's yet. Ill remove the heads when its time for a rebuild.
