i have a 14b for my off season setup on a 7 bolt and as of right now have more oil leaks than fingers and toes. every time i fix one or two another shows up. What do i do now. junk the 7 bolt and swao in my 6. i lost four quarts of oil while it sat in my garage in less than five hours the other day. i cannot find the source for a obvious gushing somewhere any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
 
you lost 4 quarts in an afternoon and can't figure out where the leak is? It had to go somewhere man. You have to find the leak and figure out what is wrong with it before you start weighing your options.

Maybe steam clean your motor?

If you lost that much and cant see it. You need glasses I think more then anything.....

I would definatly say clean it up very well, start it up and watch to see where it leaks from. Let us know the area and we'll give you your options.
 
i found the leak. i modified the oil return line and it blew the gasket out on the turbo side thanks for all the help.
