Finally got time to fix a pesky oil leak on the return and feed lines.

The return line especially had failed spectacularly by billowing smoke from dripping right on tot he header runners where it meets the oil pan. Basically, the hose clamp wasn't doing its job and the hose too had seen some wear weirdly.

Mocal USA hooked me up with a sweet return line complete with heat/flame sleeve that I also wrapped with heat reflective tape since it passes close to the header.

The oil feed line and restrictor were also leaking oil and apparently it had to do with the cheap hardware. So replaced them.

PRL also didn't include a coolant line kit for the GTX 2867R gen2 upgrade and fellow member Decay107 brought to my attention. SO ordered up the necessary hardware and got them plumbed to coolant point at the throttle body.

So far, no more oil leaks or coolant leaks.
