1. Is there supposed to be a washer or something btwn. the drain plug and the oil pan? I tightend that bolt up but it's been leaking oil out of there very slowly for a couple weeks now so I should probably try and fix that so I don't waste my oil. Also, if I do put something in there when I pull the plug its gonna drain oil, can I just drain it into a pan then put it back in my car. It's still good and clean correct?

2. This guy wants to trade me my t25 plus some cash for his 14b. He bought that turbo for another car (civic or integra or some crap) and he's telling me that the 14b won't work because of the way it connects to the exhaust mani. He said it's flanged different than the t25 so thats why he wants to trade.

That makes no sense to me. I think he is wrong and misinformed. It is the same on all turbos (okay I know not all turbo's but as far as t25-16G and so forth) because if it wasn't than I wouldn't be able to get a 16G and bolt it on. Any reason why he would be saying this or does he just not know what he's talking about? Or do I not know? Wouldn't be suprised...LOL
 
I can't comment on the 14B (having had ZERO experience with them), but you need a copper washer on your oil drain plug.
 
Okay well I'm sure I can just go find something at Autozone for the drain plug. About the oil, it's still clean. Not worth an oil change that'd be a waste of money. If that's the case I'll prolly pull the plug and hold my finger over the hole and hope a bunch doesn't leak out than just refill it.

Yeh.

Well, you'll see.

Next time, try to use a descriptive thread title.
