replaced the oil cap gasket with a new one twice thinking that something may have been wrong with the first new one. Where else can the oil be coming from, this is a newly factory rebuilt engine. Where do those hole open to on the top of the head? Thanks, phil

Take the black plastic cover off and look for oil.

I didn't think that the turbo had a PCV valve. Mine has oil pooling problems as well
