Oil leak
 
I found an oil leak that just won't stop dripping. Its not much but enough that it drives me crazy.

The T used to hook put the factory oil pressure to the oil feed has a non stop leak and i want to remove the T entirely. I've seen people use the Subaru OEM Oil Galley Plug with an AN Male to NPT Male.

The oil line looks long enough to relocate the oil feed but I just need someone to review my parts list.

I'm using Full Blown Motorsports turbo kit.

Yea that's what we did, I don't have the FBM kit, same concept though, however if you are running a precision Ball Bearing turbo, I would urge you to run a -3AN feed line. If it is not a precision ball bearing turbo then carry on. Make sure to use some RTV? (Gray silicone shit) on the threads that go into the block.

Also, don't hesitate to call LJ @FullBlown he is an extremely patient guy!


This is how it is on mine http://screencast.com/t/wRSmVsM7fN6

Thanks. Go to find out there is a seal/washer that is crushed between the plug and the block and I have that on order to, should be here today.

I also want to install check valves on the brake booster and evap. I see a lot of people are doing it but no one is listing parts. I give somebody business if they could point me in the right direction.

Jesus, That was such a pain in the ass with a turbo blocking everything. Getting the oil pressure sensor back in and tight was time consuming. The new barb next to the AC was easy. I didn't even have to remove the AC compressor. Check Valves was all in-stock at Advanced Auto Parts. cut, slip, tighten clamps & done.

So far everything looks dry.

Now i'm waiting on the next project of parts to come in. "Mishimoto" 2015 WRX oil cooler and Subaru WRX factory oil/water heat exchanger. I'm going to have to fab a bracket in front of the intercooler or something. Not sure yet.
