I recently have replaced the valve cover gasket and the PCV valve trying to stop this oil leak. The weird thing is that it has slowed down. Its leaking by the passenger front wheel well dripping down to the exhaust and causing smoke. I cannot see or tell exactly what is leaking. I can provide pictures after later on. Im going to be cleaning the engine to see if I can get a better look then I will take pictures. Does anyone have any info on what I could look for next. The engine is a 1.8t AEB engine. the PCV replacement was a pain but I did perform it with out removing the intake manifold.

Ill take a look at my engine tomorrow to see if I can get any clues of where if could be coming from.

Could be your cam tensioner seal.

My $$ would be on the cam tensioner seal as well.

Alright, I took it into my only trusted mechanic at
Affordable German today. 40 miles smoking the whole way I just kept checking the oil level every 10 miles and adding oil as needed. It drives fine and has all the power its always had. Hopefully it will be done soon. I will let you guys know what he finds out. Thank you for your help.
