I have no oil leak from the rocker ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Air leak down test! result (air coming from rocker cover)

ive got any aftermarket actuator, single port, so it has a Tee piece for the tsvs which ive found was jammed open. so it was going back down one of the vents into the rocker.

took a while to find it lol
