2 washers on each end of that VANOS line.

But it seems odd that something let loose suddenly like this after a couple of weeks of no leak. Similar for OFHG. I don't see how those would go from tight to blowing oil so quickly.

On the other hand, there are some CCV lines with pinch- or twist-lock fittings in the vicinity there. I can see how one of those could have been on well enough to seal, and then popped off. So I'd keep that in mind while tracking down the source.

Good luck. Glad you're onto the little things like this after the big job.
