Since I just LV's post, I'll update the thread title but FYI, click "Report to moderator" and we'll respond better.

Just a reminder that the valve cover itself was not leaking. They told me some orifice in the valve cover was blocked and that was causing an over pressure situation and I guess the weakest link for the oil to escape was the turbo seals.

could that be that the integrated filter of the valve cover (Dave from DDM has informed us about this) was stuck with dirt (or something like that) and the oil and fumes were leaking from the check valve?
