I have oem it leaks and obx because i have a 2.3 stoker the oem oil pan wouldn't fit my crank

 

[92AWDHX40]

so you have a oem line, it leaks on the obx pan? so have you looked at the vendors hep here for your set up or, looked at any other set ups similar to yours? or contact the company and see if that works for your setup, maybe send a email or contact a vendor and tell them what you have and what your trying to accomplish. so your question is you need a oil drain correct?

weld a bung to it never look back just spent 120 on a line for my holset, thats what i did with an n/a oil pan. looks freaking sweet.

Have you tried using copper crush washers? i had a leak for the longest time and couldn't figure out why, all i was missing were the copper crush washers to the oil pan. (I'm assuming that's where it is leaking from)

hope this helps

I would suggest copper crush washer or Permatex #2 non hardening sealer/gasket maker on the bolts to the oil pan. Crush washers were not installed by the OEM on the bolts going to the turbo. Regular thread sealer, with a split lock washer is fine.

I would also suggest this oil drain line Forced Performance Turbochargers: FP Blue Oil Drain Tube
55$

Or this one https://www.maperformance.com/map-oil-return-line-kit-pushlock-hose-dsm-map-orl-pl-dsm.html
75$


or this one STM: STM PROCLASSIC OIL RETURN LINE KIT

Copper Crush washers are key. If you cannot find any locally, you can pickup a package of Copper Electrical lugs (ring terminals) and cut the end of and use that. If you cannot get either use the permatex or it will leak, no ifs ands or buts about it.

First.
Where is leaking from (exactly), or post some pics.

Most of the leaks comes from the bolts, and not the gaskets.

Use some crash washers, But, make sure to use bare bolts, don't use washers on top of the crash washers, other wise it will keep leaking.
You have to make sure the Head of the bolts makes contact with the crash washers.

What about your 2.3 doesn't allow you to run a stock pan? There are literally thousands of them out there on stock pans.

 

[geno414]

i dont know that's the guy that said that about the pan so i got the pan for free and its leaking from the bottom of the line kinda were the bolts are but i put a lot of rtv seal lent on them i think im missing the crush washers.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Or get a stock pan my buddies spyder has a 2.3 with a stock pan on it, find a used one or check out stm they have a oem replacement one.

 

[Dert]

Get an oem, use 2 gaskets on pan side, spray them both with copper spray, torque to spec.

 

[greekgodchaos]

Get some -10an fittings, weld a bung to thenoil pan and forget the gaskets

 

[Sleeper1gfwd]

Yeah AN fittings are way to go, otherwise crush washers and flat surfaces
