I still think this is a rocker cover gasket issue

checked all my files and not happy with the answers so far, its a scam in my view "pictures required" with rocker covers still on showing oil leak and data showing valve timing/pressure loss

Its not an internal leak like i think your thinking of

It leaks out the back of the gasket

See the adjusters sit on top of the head at the rear there is a gasket between that leaks on to the back of the head

now I'm getting the picture, correct me if I'm wrong "camshaft end seals" and my thoughts were on the cam chain tensioner

Bank 1 has the "end seal" at the front and is the rear on Bank 2 those have also been known to leak but not as much at the tenisor

There are many different aftermarket warranties so it always varies

Plead your case and find out

It should be under warrenty. And the Water leak is prolly still leaking, but it never really looks like it, just that pink crud that builds up around the leak.. The oil leaks are allmost allways coverd under warrenty. Good luck
