I have a 97 gs that I'm turboing is there a way to put the return line to the oil pan with out welding it like using a fitting with a nut on the inside of the oil pan and putting an o-ring between the oil pan and the nut would this work. i don't have a welder so would this work. or is there another way.
thanks
 
If you are going to put a nut on the inside, I'm assuming the pan isn't on the car, duh. Take it to a muffler shop and have them weld it on for a pack of cigarettes or $5 and be done with it. Those bastards leak constantly, welding is good and safe. Fear of leaking oil from oil pan > $5 and a trip to Meineke. Plus you might make buddy buddy with Roy and he'll offer to help you out with welding anytime in the future! :sneaky:
