i still havent dropped the oil pan, would the fittings being so close to the downpipe have any affect on it leaking? Im not really sure where everyone else taps the oil pan, but mine is pretty close to the downpipe. its not even a 1/4 inch from it. It seems to be gettin worse. I think i need to get the line and fittings checked one more time. Is anyone elses return line that close to the downpipe? I havent really havent looked at how anyone else has theirs.
