a couple days ago I was doing a couple pulls WOT and my oil pressure gauge dropped really fast. Comes to find out the hex plug on above my steel braided oil feed line on the oil filter housing blew off and shot oil on my radiator and downpipe. Anybody know the size of the hex plug?? I went to the dealership and the women there was clueless :confused:
 
The large hex plugs are 3/8 NPT I believe. You can pick them up at an auto parts store.
 
Hope you caught it fast enough...I had this happen before, except it was my oil pressure sender that decided to play rocket ship - it took my bottom end with it because I didn't notice :(
