I have come across a massive oil leak, all of the sudden I saw i was no longer making much oil pressure , quickly went home, my oil return line is bubbling.

I ran across a thread on how to make your own oil return line, if someone can point that out to me id appreciate it, cause I cant find it.

Ps. its leaking from the bendable part of the return line.

If you lose enough oil for your oil pressure to bottom out, then you should instantly shut down the engine. When there is no oil in the engine, every second counts. Driving hom was a horrible idea, and you will be extremely lucky if no permanent engine damage occured.

We need to know what turbo you are running and what you are currently using for a drain line......
 
I noticed my oil pressure was at the idle line of the oil pressure gauge and woudlnt go above that whatsover, wouldnt gain any pressure.

I noticed a huge puddle of oil on the ground and I thought uh oh, so I went home bieng easy on the throttle, a block and a half.

My engine is completely stock, 14b turbo.

The bendable part of the return line was bubbling so I hacked that piece off and replaced it with tranny/oil cooler fluid hose and clamped it (just temporary). The crack was rather huge on the return line it was hideous.

So far everything seems well with the tranny/oil cooler fluid hose.
