1995 Nissan Maxima leaks oil?

Replaced both upper and lower oil pan gaskets and both valve cover gaskets. it is dripping down the right side at the rear right side of the engine just in front of the firewall. ? I know its coming from up high it will puddel up fairly quick.1995 Nissan Maxima leaks oil?
If it is coming from up high then there is only three possabilities,


1/ you have a broken breather hose from the tappet cover.


2/ the tappet cover gasket is leaking.


3/ the head gasket is leaking.





Take it to a shop to have it diagnosed, As a cheap problem can be fixed easily, but not if you take the expensive option first.1995 Nissan Maxima leaks oil?
Could be a main seal ... but be sure to check out the simple things .. like be sure the dipstick tube is seated properly and stuff
