Sigh I saw another thread in that this will be taken care of under warranty but not with my setup obviously. I also believe I read that the motor has to come out. When I pull the downpipe to swap it out I'm going to clean the area real good and try to Ultra gray that crack up and hope it stops it. What sucks is it sits DIRECTLY over the downpipe so if it starts to seep enough it will drip right onto it and smoke/smell like shit.
That sounds like the cam plate, which is a known issue. Are you talking about this?

If so, look into the Raceseng cam plate. You can install without pulling the engine. From what I've read, it's easier than you would think.

Here's an install vid from FT86SF. They went in through the bottom, but you can install through the top of the engine bay, too.
