I'm not blaming it on the kit or anything, I am just curious if anybody else encountered this. I did recently changed my oil to a 5w30.. Maybe that could be the cause?

I haven't had any leaks as of yet. I'm at 20k miles and 18k with the turbo and haven't had an issue. I'm still using 0W-20 with my 400+hp application. I dont see any reason why to go to something thicker just yet. From my understanding theirs not enough clearences to go with something thicker either without experiencing sometype of issues. Again if you have a good oil that keeps its visocity levels at high temps then you should have no issues with 0w-20. I use Purol as my choice of motor lubricants.
