      Oil Leak at High RPM

      I had an oil leak from the rear of my valve cover on the driver's side, that would spray oil all over the passenger side firewall. I sealed that up with new covers and a new gasket. That was 3 months ago. I have another oil leak and I can't detect it while running in idle. I'm pretty sure it's leaking when I drive at freeway speeds which is pretty frequent.

      The oil is everywhere on the passenger side again. Maybe my alternator is sucking anything that's spraying over there cause there's not much on the that side. But it's like a spray mist on the firewall, valve cover, the rad. hoses and the fan has a lot on its blades and stuff.



      The valve covers seem okay. I'm going to drop the oil pan to take out a piece of dip stick that fell in there and use a new one piece gasket. Is there anything I should be looking for? Could it be the timing cover? Has anyone had a similiar problem? Thanks
