Air leak on driver's side the best i can tell....sure beats passenger side....

Is it possible to take valve cover off and do air test to narrow the leak down?

If you pull the valve cover and get a stethoscope ( my wife self taught doctor ) so she had one and listen to each one and you can hear it when you are there . I also could see oil bubbling out as soon as it started leaking .

No sure how... No missing pieces, just a crack... Question on testing....When you air to the system, where should you hear air? Turbo is off so should have air coming out oil tube as well as oil line to top of turbo, not alot of air but some.....Should hear it in the oil cooler? Am I correct or not?

Thanks
