I have an oil leak in the valley I'm not sure where it's coming from I have put in a new hpop and 2 new gaskets going to the resivor and I can't figure out where it's coming from other than near the front of the valley and I'm loosing a gal a week

Could be a turbo pedestal leak as well. Clean up the valley real nice and crank it up and get it running for a while and look in the clean valley with a flashlight. Hopefully you can find it that way.

I have done that the pedestal is damp but not the issue it looks to come from beneath the hpop is there a possibility of the hpop or the rez being warped because I looked for cracks when I changed it

Are the bolts for the hpop torqued correctly? If the hpop has been in and out multiple times and not careful the threads strip out. If they are stripped out,,, pick up a repair kit from Rifraf. When I pulled my cover I installed the kit anyway,,, much easier out than in.
If bolts are not stripped and you changed the hpop gasket a couple times, hoses are not leaking, turbo pedestal is not leaking and fuel pump oring is not leaking clean and dry the 3 valley pockets. Start it up and see what valley pocket fills up first,,, there are 3,,, front, middle and rear. Rear would be a pedistal oring,,, middle would be fuel pump oring or hpop lines going to heads and front would be hpop, hpop lines or front cover gasket failure.
If all visual areas look dry and can not see a leak,, pick up a camera scope. Start her up and hone in on the area on the top mating surface of the front cover under the hpop. If you see it running down in that front valley it's the front cover.
The center silicone area on the front cover in this photo is the most likely cuprit.
Could be many things, HPOP reservoir gasket, cracked HPOP reservoir due to incorrect gasket, timing cover top mating surface, ICP leaking, oil gallery plugs leaking specially the passenger side one, and finally HPOP abt drain valve located on the engine block in the valley right behind the timing cover on driver side if that makes any sense
It took me a couple years of poking around to find my front cover leak.
Oil leaks can be a head scratcher for sure.
