not a good idea at all...rtv in your oil pan will wreak havoc on your pickup

Re: Bitch ass oil leak
 

I was thinking I'll just be careful so that all of it stays on the outside of the fitting. Too risky? ???

i cant believe that a hose clamp will not seal it up....i use rad hose with a hose clamp, works every time

Re: Bitch ass oil leak
 

Look on the first picture, you see oil on the outside of the line at probably what is the lowest point.

Re: Bitch ass oil leak
 

Stealth already told you that the fitting is too small for the line. I had the same problem. -AN lines have Stainless steel braiding which make it very difficult for the hose clamp to ensure a ploper clamp. You have three options:
1) Use a rubber heater hose if you are using a hose clamp
2) Use -AN fittings with -AN line
3) Use the correct size barb with the supplied -AN line (5/8")
Done deal ;)

sure its not that weld leaking?

Re: Bitch ass oil leak
 

My stealthmode return leaked a liiiiiiiitle bit at first, but then all I did was tighten the ---- out of the hose clamp with a socket (not a screwdriver like the first time) and it's all gravy baby :6

Re: Bitch ass oil leak
 

Ok, You have 4 options.

Re: Bitch ass oil leak
 

The weld isnt leaking, I checked it pretty thuroughly before I put the oil pan back on. The bottom fitting is one that I actually got from Lowes (steel) and had to grind some around the sides for the line to fit over it. I guess I'll try to tighten that bitch with a socket too.

I'm far too lazy to relace that ---- with an AN fitting.

honestly i would take very thin rubber line the inside of the tubing kind of make like an insert and put it back on and clamp it down , might work
