With how much oil was sprayed from your feed line i wouldn't be surprised if there was some you missed and it slowly dripped down from wherever. You could try that oil dye stuff and check to see if it leaking from somewhere else. Also look at the return line. Did you use a new gasket? Did you use RTV?

My Talon is the king of oil leaks. I used to have a crack on my oil pan flange and it leaked about 4 quarts in one day. I was paranoid and checked it very very often and added whatever it need that day. I fixed the leak that night and there still was drips coming from one of the crossmembers the oil leaked on previously.

Another thing I learned is that it does take awhile for all the oil to settle back in the pan. I've checked it after about 3 minutes after the car was shut off and check it again 20 mintues later and it was up higher, not alot, but could be the TAD bit of oil you noticed missing from the dipstick. You didn't say how long after the car was off before checking it. So I'm just throwing it out there.

ok i must not be leaking any oil....drove to work today, went home, drove around, got gas, went home and checked the oil....still right where it was before i went to work....but there still is a little oil dripping from the bottom of the car...

anyway, new question......i noticed if i sit in neutral and rev to 5500, my bov isn't as loud as it used to be. i believe it's because of the bigger turbo, correct? also i noticed this turbo has a lot more lag than my T-2small lol. this turbo doesn't start to spool until right after 3300 or so. but when i hit 14 - 15 psi my car moves pretty damn good....and the best part about it - it doesn't smoke anymore!

that would be correct, your other turbo spun fast and stayed like that till it died out. this one doesnt do that. when i get off work tommorow i will have to come and check this out. mine is still not done im waiting on parts. its pissing me off i orderd them long ago.
