Hello everyone, been looking and using the search function to see if I can figure this out but cannot seem to find the exact same problem, so here goes.

I am working on my GF's 2005 Aveo, with 95,00mi on it. We changed the timing belt, water pump, spark plugs and valve cover gasket because it was leaking bad! Now my problem; I have oil that appears to be seeping up from the top of the exhaust manifold and not running down from the valve cover, what am I missing, could the exhaust manifold gasket be bad and there is an oil passage that a bolt is supposed to seal ?
Car runs great, just need to get this darn leak fixed for her.

P.S.
Anyone disconnect the transmission line coming from the radiator to flush the old fluid out, if so which one, top or bottom hose?

Thanks for any suggestions, Kent.
