Have you encountered numerous oil leaks like me?

Kind of. It started with very slight oil burning smell at the occasional red light and very small drips of oil on my garage floor. I thought it was the cam plate, but redoing it a few times left me with the same occasional oil drip. By fluke when I was replacing my injectors, I found a small oil deposit by the oil pickup line on top of the block. After Redoing the high temp Teflon on the threads and stacking 2 fresh crush washers, the problem was solved. The reason I mentioned it earlier was because I thought for sure it was a valve cover gasket too, but redoing that oil tap fixed it. Before storing the car a few months ago, I'm at about 10,000km with no leaks.
