I recently installed a FP 68HTA v3 turbo to replace my Garrett hybrid unit. I reused the oil drain outlet fitting as it seemed to fit exactly the same. Of course I used a new gasket, but I've developed quite the oil leak from this area. The bolt spacing seems the same and the -10AN drain line and fitting worked on the last turbo. Due to how tight it is, you have to use allen head bolts, so maybe it's not tight enough or I just don't know what I'm doing. It's a pretty massive leak, so I'm wondering if the outlet is different. I compared the outlet sizes before installing it, and everything seemed to be fine.
My only other thought is that I have backpressure in the line since the oil pan fitting leaks oil when I remove the line when it's parked. I have replaced the DSM oil pan with a RWD unit. I didn't think the oil fitting would be below the oil level, but it seems it is. I was hoping the oil level would drop enough during running that it wouldn't be an issue. The pan seems to hold the same amount of oil. I'm kind of at a loss. It seems like an easy fix, but I haven't had any luck.
