Q7- oil leak both exhaust manifolds

[nathan1986]

Has anyone experienced both banks having oil leaking out of the exhaust manifolds? 
 

I’ve been told could be injector seals or PCV??

It’s unusual for all the injector seals to go at the same time on both banks and rather than it being oil it looks like a sludge of carbon that sprays under pressure on the manifold and inner wing. You’ll be able to here a faint ticking noise too coming from the injector.

Won’t let me upload a video of my failed injector seal for some reason

I’ve seen it before where an oil leak in the middle of the V has filled and ran down both sides so would recommend looking there with a borascope or sticking a camera phone as best you can around in there for any sign of oil if yours doesn’t look like the pictures
