yes the tip of the fitting was welded shut then drilled out. You rebuilt the turbo this is Steve Berube.

Next step is to check the oil return.
it needs to be ½", tapped above the oil level in the pan and straight down.
If it still leaks with that, have the compression checked on the engine to make sure the pan is not pressurized and then if it still leaks, we can try turbonetic's Stagger gap piston ring.

The compression was 140 in cylenders 1&2 and 150 in 3&4. The oil drain is 5/8 to a half inch npt. The feed has an oil restricter because i think it is -4 an. and with the hose disconnected from the pan no oil leaks out at all so its above the oil level. Also how would i check to see if my pan is being pressurized.
