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 ----.

There is your problem, you tapped the oil pan to low, if that is below the normal level of oil in the pan it is just gonna back up, I say get a new pan and tap it higher up and see if that helps...Matt

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
