OK! Good work, good plan. You'll get it. Looks like you may want to check your motor mounts as well. Staying tuned for the conclusion!

I found a TINY tear in the bottom of the two lines right in front of the filtercap, I’m hopeful that this is it. Looks very small for the amount of oil that came out but there is a lot of pressure up that high in the rev range I guess. Hopefully it’s visible on my phone pic.

I had a oil leak problem earlier this year, but it came from the oil cooler return lines, the o-ring seals failed.
Most of my oil spray was contained to the engine belly pans. So not a tremendous amount of clean-up involved.

Oh trust me that’s definitely where it’s coming from! Same exact spot as mine and about the same size tear. I took my factory lines off and had new hoses and fittings installed locally here in MD. Hopefully you can fix it soon!
