Oil Return Line Removal

[95AWD6Bolt]

I have a 98 gsx with a 16g on it.

The one problem that I have is that the oil return line is leaking where it meets the turbo because it is the stock line. Im pretty sure i read somewhere that the stock line doesnt fit and causes this.

Anyway, I purchased a ss line from extremepsi and am going to install it. However, the other ngiht when I went to change the oil and the return line, I couldnt get the stock return line off. I took out the four bolts but it wouldnt come. I didnt want to break anything so i just bolted it back up and finished changing the oil.

Should it be sticking like this? My thought is that the gasket is stuck on or something.

also, do I need to drain the oil in order to change this?

thanks in advance.

If all for bolts are off, its just the gasket sticking, and i would of done this at the time of the oil change.

Just pull it off. You should not have put oil back in because now you have to drain it back out again.

ok, thats what i thought.

Can you reuse it, I put like 5 miles on the car since i changed it. It would be a waste if i cant.

You should be fine, as long as what ever your using is clean to catch the oil.

Or you can wait till your next oil change.

i would rather not, . That is just increasing the risk of something else breaking.
