Default oil leak problem

I have oil seeping out on to my tranny, from the looks of it, its coming from the front of the block where the head mates to the block you can see some oil on the tip of the headgasket that sticks out a air, i know its not the cam seal because i replaced that with a billet seal,

any ideas of what it could be?

Im not sure this is boost related but it started happening after the turbo kit, and it seems to be getting worse!

Maybe from the crankshaft seal or the axle coming out of the gearbox (don't know the english name for it, but it's 'prise-as' in dutch).

i think your talkinga bout the rear main seal,

i dont think its that this at the top of the tranny , if it were the crank seal it would go straight down, this is like its seeping out from the head.

ive heard that the head can lift off the block under boost if you crappy headstuds, this is what i think could be the problem, but im only running 5psi so i dont know if that would be enough to cause that to happen.

ah, thought you said there was oil dripping from the tranny, then it's not those things I mentioned .

Doubt your problem is block lifting if you run only 5 psi.

Well hear alot about block lifting here, seems to be a big problem on honda's ??, or maybe just over exaggerated.
