Resolved 2g oil filter housing fitting size?

[mikevar94]

Was changing my filter when I noticed oil all over the bottom side of the drivers side. After examining it looks like the oil feed line connecting to the filter housing is not threaded all the way in and it also looks crooked. I was just gonna replace it to a braided line but anyone know the size? I've searched the site and got 3/8 but whats the thread size and also whats the other end? I looks like mine connects to a new line before it connects back to the turbo.

The large OFH ports are a 3/8" BSPT (British Standard Pipe Taper) thread. Though, there's not very much guesswork when you buy a braided line from one of our supporting vendors (EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts, for example).

After reading that thread from the link you posted, the end of the line is supposed to be crooked. I guess the threads are lined up at an angle. So oil must be leaking from somewhere else in that area. It's all over the bottom of the alternator and the belt for it. Any ideas what it could be? The other half of the motor is dry of oil. I don't get it

How does the sending unit for your oil pressure idiot light look? I know mine started to leak.

It doesn't come on at all. I just know that the bottom of my alternator is pretty wet from oil and pretty that entire area is too. Other than that everything else is clean of oil and sludge
