if the leak then persists, how is your oil pan tapped? make sure your adapter to the oil pan doesnt leak. Personally I just always have a steel fitting welded in, no need to mess with weird bolt on ----.
its only coming from the backside of it, i'm fixin to give it some jb weld treatment, see if that does the trick i used a 1/2" barbed fitting with 3/8" threadings, drilled and tapped with a 3/8" NPT tap, used locktite on threads and jb welded on outside just in case.

that would be HIS problem, not mine...

short of getting a moroso oil pan or something that lowers the pan, i'd be hard pressed to... and this is the budget build, so that's out of the question. one of those suckers would cost half of what i've spent putting the setup together.

does the 14b have a gasket that goes to the oil drain flange? this could be what's leaking too, i've noticed some oil on the hose where it connects to the drain flange, and dripping down the hose.

lol, i just realized that i am a dumbass but oh well...well in that case, my return was leacking when I first installed it...I didn't know how cause i JB welded both inside and out so i hit the outside again, still no fix, then i tightened the clam on the barb fitting on the pan and that solved it, use a socket and not a screw driver to tighten it down, hope I help you this time

Yea as did i, uh, my t3 drain flange had a gasket it wouldn't hurt to us them rtv or silicone selant if you don't have a gasket just use it sparingly and wait for it to dry u don't want that getting sucked up into the oil pump or ask stealthmode he might be able to get you a gasket
