ALL need checking after install, and re-tighten. Then look at the fittings under the oil filter, DO NOT remove the bumper, just lift the hood, you are looking for seepage UNDER THE OIL FILTER, AND FITTINGS.
My central bolt and the sandwich plate fittings had to be re-torqued after about 50 miles.
To check for rad seepage, look through the grill and you can clearly see the oil rad and fittings. The rad fittings were tightened with a torque bar, we did not retighten, and it did not seep.
I ran a hot day, all day Formula I track, checked at every pit stop and all fittings were fine.
Teflon tape is controversial, we used NO sealant of any kind and all is good.
