Don't forget to check the EBPV plunger assembly.

When we did my 38R install, my small oil leak (at the time, I had no idea what the source was) became a really big oil leak, but all the O-rings on the pedestal were sealing fine.

It turns out my plunger was the source, and it became a huge leak when we had the pedestal off and took the plunger out to clean it up.

I was lucky, Pete swapped in a van turbo which doesn't have an EBPV, so he gave me his and it solved my problem.

Start your engine and grab a flashlight. You should be able to see any oil coming from the stem of the plunger if it's leaking there.
