Front main was definitely leaking. And a tiny weep from the exhaust cam seal. Replaced both. Hopefully the front main is what was causing all the leaks.
Boundary seal was totally different than OEM. Much harder, less elastic, less spring tension. Felt like crap compared to OEM.
About halfway done reassembling. Should be driving tonight and will know if that was my only leak.

Motor has 250 miles on it now. It stopped leaking from where it used to be leaking, so if its actually not leaking anymore I'll be stoked. Haven't gotten under the car to check everywhere yet.
Boost tomorrow. Probably going to start with the 3psi spring and just start tuning my way up.

All fixed now, not a drip.
