front oil leak after snc repair

Sorry but I can't recall any bolt holes in the front of the block or head that go through to the oil galleries except, of course, the oil gallery plugs in the head. Must be a damaged seal somewhere.

The bottom most right had bolt in the front goes through the ac bracket then into the oil pump. It would only leak if you had an internal leak.

Its probably your cam cover leaking down.

Hardened cam cover gaskets hardly ever re-seal. Also did you use RTV in all the right spots (and nowhere else)?

You don't say where it's leaking from? Can't you tell by where oil is coming from? Just as likely the crank main seal if you've been doing work around there with a custom crank nose fix....!?

Degrease it first.
Check for a static leak. If none, run it for a few minutes and check again using a good light.
Repeat until you see the leak start point.
The only sources I can think of at the front are cam cover seal, cam seal(s) or crankshaft front seal.
