Is puddling on my intake manifold, i'd took my tq wrench and check the bolts and nothing is loose, any idea of where it could be coming from?

Sorry...on a 335 it's on the back side and can run down on the intake. It was basically a shot in the dark on my part.

Have you checked your pcv valve? It could actually be spraying out your dipstick if you don't have adequate crankcase ventilation.

Put dye in oil. Run engine. Check for leaks with black light.

Ya, it works well. It can be used in engine oil, automatic transmissions, power steering systems, and fuel systems.

I had a leaky power steering hose on my Supercoupe, so I used the dye to see where it was coming from since everything was coated in fluid. It turned out I had a few leaks. You just dump in a small amount of dye, then run the engine long enough for it to leak and check with a UV light. It will glow bright yellow/green where the leak is.
