Resolved Oil Return Line leak

[jibberishballr]

Well my Evo III install went well and the only problem i have now is my oil return line has a minor leak. What should i do to fix or seal the leak?

Where is the leak at? If it is where it connects to the turbo or the oil pan. Buy a new gasket and use a thin layer of sealant.

Its where it connects to the oil pan.

Also the gasket is new from my turbo install.

Remove it and ad a thin layer of sealant and re attach it. If you use too much sealant then you risk clogging the line or restricting its flow.

Thanks ill do it tomorrow.

On a side note do you know why my datalogger would give me a connection error when i plug it into the diagnostic port. Its saying no connection.

Do you have the correct interface? What setup are you using for logging?

Because its ghey like mine. If you mess with it for a bit, which includes, but is not limited to, plug and unplug it multiple times/wiggle it(just a lil bit )/scream at it and call it names, it will eventually come alive. Im thinking i have a lose connection somewhere.

You need copper crush washers under the head of the capscrews. They go straight into the pan, with open nuts. The oil wicks out through the thread space. You can use cut-off electrical ring terminals for copper washers. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

I have Palm n Stein as well as OBDII datalogger program. Neither seem to work. Maybe i just need to mess with the connection a little like the guy above said...the one who screams at his...

And as for the return line am i good if i:

put sealant on the gasket (not enough to clog)
and get copper washers to go over screws
