Weird Oil Leak

[jdamore44]

So I'm at wit's end right now in the past 3 months I've Sealed the valve cover gaskets, Oil cooler cap, and Oil Pan. Also did the timing belt, and just refreshed the whole front suspension ( tie rods, Upper and Lower BJ's., bilstein Shocks, KYB Steering Damper and new Sway bar bushings.. I thought that I had all the oil leaks down. But after I filled her back up with oil and let her warm up .. all was well. my 3.0 Runs like a champ!! However. after shutting it down the oil starts dripping pretty heavy down the passenger side.. It's looking like it's coming from the HG. When it's running .. no drips.. only on shut down. I thought it was the OIL pan.. But it's definitely coming from above .... When Doing the timing belt... the cam seals were dry... It has to be the HG. But no water in the oil.. and no oil in the water.. ANyone have this happen before?? What gives ? Also... When I did the Valve cover's.. the Head looked pretty fresh.. Could these guys have not torqued.. or retorqued the bolts enough?? I'm thinkin i'll be doing a HG soon. I'm bummin, It runs like a champ... i just hate leaving a puddle after every time I shut down any help would be appreciated.

this sounds a lot like what was happening to me but it turns out i am leaking burned gooey carbon from my exhaust way up by the block...i finally noticed it and its prolly from when i seafoamed it it got crap in there....its annoying but with everything youve changed and no HG symptoms i would look at that...you can see the exhaust bolts or headers not sure what they are exactly but mine was leaking from a bolt and dripping on the transmission and all the way down to right under the car.....hope this maybe helps.

I lost a head gasket on my CJ5 years ago, same way. It burned oil a little while driving, and then when I stopped it would lose a quart just sitting there. It got worse till it was undriveable.
Turned out, in my youth I had not cleaned the head well enough while changing the gasket and it blew out due to a spot of stuck old gasket.
