First pic is pass side which as you can see is fine. Second pic is drivers side. It's a tiny leak/ never hits pavement and burns off. I'm gonna replace gaskets when I can.

My biggest curiosity is to how/ why the oil seems to come out at the bolt. My oil pressure switch just always reads out dead middle (don't recall if it ever gave any type of good read out) but it's def a dummy gauge. Checked my pcv and it was good but replaced it anyway. Just curious as to thoughts from anyone knowledgeable. I'm hoping it's nothing pressure related (I'll test it when I can possibly next oil change) but leaking out at the place it is just has me really wondering why there?

Check PCV grommet for tight fit and vacuum hose going to it maybe
Thank you bro. Will do. I guess that makes sense as I checked and replaced the PCV, but honestly didn't check what was related to it lol.

Might not be pressure related at all, but the way the oil is coming out at that particular spot is worrying me a bit.
