Been fighting this problem. Replaced a bad head gasket recently. Still leaking, more so on long drives, then ends up on manifold stinking things up. I'm not a mechanic by any means. It's hard to see back there. I did recently also replace oil sending unit. That area is dry. Any ideas where to look, would be appreciated.

Looks to me like the coolant tees are leaking Dexcool right onto the coil and wires. Common problem. If so, time to replace the tees.
