uh oh...

yeah so I noticed I was leaking oil a little bit, and I could see some forming around the bottom of the oil pan, so I looked up and followed the path up to the return line, there was like a puddle around when the hose goes into the oil pan... and it was securely in there, so I followed it up some more and found this..










yeah... that sucks. My return line is like {-----} this close to my exhaust mani, what's that heat wrap stuff called that they put on exhaust piping under the hood?

Re: uh oh...

on my last setup i used a braided return line, but its a huge hassle to cut and they're spendy...on my current setup, my oil return runs through the collector on my topmount...i just snagged some -8an blue heat treated rubber tubing from one of the local shops and heat wrapped it....if you're really interested, i'll get pictures...
