oil leak from where? g40 engines have a thousand places where they can leak! even a misfitted new gasket could cause a leak! or a gone o-ring? is it at the front or the back of the engine?

Sounds like the oil gallery seal in the head gasket, only real fix is a new head gasket. But your description is too vague, any pictures of it?
