I replaced all my oil lines and fittings early spring. Used Russel Performance stuff. I see oil at the swivel of one 90 degree fitting.

The leak must get worse when the car is hot, and under pressure because when test it after I clean it up, and adjust the line, everything looks fine, you can't even see it leak when idling. What pisses me off is the oil is dripping on the Z-Speed under tray, then between the wind from driving, and the rad fan running, it blows the oil down the passenger underside of the car. My wheel well liner is coated, the lower suspension arm is coated, the down pipe is coated...

Yep, sucks. Worrying about an oil leak is the last thing I want to do when driving/boosting. I was so pissed last night that the thought of going back to NA crossed my mind.

That hasn't crossed my mind but the oil leaks have made me regret, almost wish I hadn't do it, the process. Sucks that we did all this great work ourselves and stupid little oil leaks that have nothing to do with what we did are causing the issues.

I am thinking, maybe Sasha should look into using higher quality lines since some of us are having issues with the oil lines.

He already did that. The most recent kits built he used all aeromotive fittings. Those are basically tier one products. We are still having issues.
