    Oil pump cover was the main culprit. Pan gasket was leaking. Engine super clean for the miles though.

    Clock Volt meter/LSPV Delete/Hyundai 16’s/FP gauge/after 9months of wrenching ZERO oil leaks
    mine (2.4L) leaking too 212k
    waiting for parts currently

    one thing i saw you might want to check is the O-ring on distributor as well
    i RR-d valve cover/half moons
    then power washed T-chain cover
    saw immediate oil seepage on T cover
    but i also saw fresh seepage under new valve cover gasket
    thought i screwed up VC gasket install, then saw that seepage coming around distributor
