Either it stops leaking or it'll be sealed shut and it will stop leaking. What beats me is why the hell did this thing start to leak now.. nothing has change, the turbo hasn't moved.. no damage, accidents.. nothing to alter any of the previous conditions. It sealed well before, why not now  , anyways, below is the "ported o ring sealed square drain flange I was talking about. I already contacted the guys at JDL to see if they have any suggestions but understand this has really nothing to do with them.

That really sucks. So the stock flange is round with no o ring, correct?
The point of getting the new one is so the flow geometries match up? Also, you're still going to use a gasket once that gets in, right?
