I've had the BWR SC in for a couple of weeks now and noticed oil drips on the undertray. I've never had an oil issues with the engine before.

I've traced the origin to the upper part of the engine, around the Oil Control Valve area, which mounts into the head. Not a big leak, just slow accumulation. No codes, no CELs, car runs fine. All the bolts, nuts, etc. are tight.

Anybody else have a similar experience? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Regards,
Wayne
