The OPRV Cover Plate Oil Leak looks like front of oil pan
The OPRV Cover Plate Oil Leak looks like front of oil pan leak and is hard to diagnose.
OPRV (Oil Pressure Regulating Valve cover plate )......It will appear that the oil pan front bolts are loose and leaking at gasket. Potential Oil Leaks and the OPRV Cover Plate

Re: engine wear
I finally got around to putting pan gasket #2 on this beast. Had a helping hand this time too which was nice. Got her out for about 10 miles yesterday then today really put it through her paces. Oil pressure was good, everything was good and after today's drive for about 40 miles the permagrin is back on my face and the under side of the car is completely dry. So now I'll have about another month or so I can drive her before the winter weather rolls in and then I'll get to that crankcase pressure issue and check my pcv.

Make sure to get out and inspect her after she's sat for a bit. In the unlikely event that the leak is not quite completely gone, spotting it on a nice clean engine is easier. I've got a really really really tiny leak coming from what was apparently a tiny rock hitting the small oil cooler at the bottom of the radiator stack. In my case it was easy to spot when all was clean.

Re: engine wear
It's all about respect I think. Here we go again.
Beware of trolls.
