Took the intake manifold out to find intake leak. Also to change those plastic water pipes.
Brake booster hose was cracked under the manifold so hopefully there's my leak. Gotta get new hose tomorrow. New pipes installed Intake manifold gasket"s where quite flat also. One of the water pipes snapped in to the head, so good time to do this all.

How does the CCV and all the vacuum hoses look while you are in there? It looks like a good time to do the $4 OFHG as well, looks like a bit of a mess.

OFHG? Oil filter housing? It's been done also. Oil in there seems to be from vanos pipe that has been also replaced not a long ago... Previous owner.
I did renew ccv with new pipes few months ago.

Excellent, well perhaps it will be a good opportunity to replace just the vanos oil line then. I think you can get it out without removing the oil filter housing. It looks in the picture like there is a big oil leak back there, but perhaps it is just the lighting.

Oil line is new. I was looking the wetness also... It's just under vanos line on the oil filter housing side, so I think who ever replaced it, did not bother to clean it (since protection plate does not have "continuing" wetness). Usually when oil filter housing gasket leaks it would do it underneath also. Anyways, I will clean it as much as I can and see if there is a leak somewhere. And it sure looks wet in there in pictures because I changed coolant pipes and took pictures.
I'm allergic to any leaks so I intend to keep them off.

Got it back together and drove it for 30km and no check engine light anymore. I hope this fixed the issue.

Drove more today and codes came back. Probably a vacuum leak still somewhere. Gotta test tank purge valve next.

Colder weather brings new trouble. Took a periodic regular glance under Red today while checking the mail today and there is a small oil drip from... you guessed it... the driver's front. It looks like pretty oil and not power steering fluid so that means it's probably time to do the alternator bracket gasket. Oh the fun times that lie ahead for me.
