Hi all

Fitted the fp green on the weekend, unfortunalry ended up with an oil leak.. Firstly thought it was the gasket but stripped back off and it seemed fine.:shock:

All I can think it is, is the drain pipe to the sump has fractured when swapping the turbo'd over?

Thought I would get opinions, I have another pipe, going to see if I can get the gaskets and then fit.. See where I get :mad:

Never straight forward!

Haha.. I only just sent a email to Ben at hel, see if they have any kits left. Can fit their oil filter feed at the same time then.

Best place for exhaust gaskets? Could do with replacing the turbo to elbow on I have

Had stock oil feed thought ;) that was the only reason I didn't go for you kit, think buy the time I buy the drain and the gasket will be much what I would have paid for that kit.. Typical lol..

Hadley didn't bother as needed the fp feed.. Mistake there

That it maybe but needs to be there for when I bite the bullet and get it all forged up.. E9 turbo just won't be up to the task then. Plus got it for a rather good price so couldn't really say no :razz:
