Default Name that leak
I am sure this has been mentioned many times, can anybody confirms how this leak is called so I can properly STFA? It is on the driver side of the engine, at the front. These pictures are taken with the engine covers off and the timing belt covers off too:

Thanks!

Martin

Default Wouldn't the valve cover gaskets do the trick?
If the 40V is like the 32V, it's probably leaking from the rubber semi-circle gasket.
