turbo drain pipe leaks

[PC5505]

I have a 1g that I bought with an E3B16 already installed and I have an oil leak from the drain pipe to the oil pan, I was wondering if anyone knew whether I could just replace it with the stock 1g drain pipe and gaskets.....

Yes, get a stock 1G gasket for there.

That pipe has been known to leak at the flex area so it might be a good idea to just get a new pipe w/ the stock 1g gaskets like mentioned above.

You also might want to check out Forced Performance's website. They sell a blue CNC fitted return line. It looks a hell of a lot better, its flexible for ease of installation and since its CNC machined, probably has a better fitment. I believe it goes for about 55 bucks. Not sure how much a new one from mitsu is but im sure its not much cheaper if at all. just FYI.

If that's a hint of any price that mitsu will be, then I would say go with the CNC one.

Since the bolts on the oil pan side is thread into a bracket in the oil pan, you'll also need to replace the crush washers on those two bolts to prevent oil leaking through the threads.

thanks all, found the gasket and washers for 10 bucks online. Couldnt find the stock replacement for less than 40 in stock and after shipping its 50, so I will be going with an aftermarket one since its flexible all through the length and not just at the elbow, and since its only another 20-30 bucks. Thanks alot everyone.
