my oil return line or that big braded one from the pan has a stripped bolt the other is tight but that one is not all the way tight but its not loose eaither. is this cause for concern i ran it for a min an dident see any thing gushing. i know im gonna be lookin under there and checkin the oil 20 times a day but i dont know do they hold that much pressure that it would make a difference. thanks for any input or suggestions :(
 
It'll be a slow leak, but it gets annoying to keep topping off the oil. If it's not leaking yet, I'd leave it alone, but if it is leaking, wait until your next oil change so that you don't have to empty your oil pan too early and tap the hole for a 1/4 thread. It'll be better than before.
