Leak is coming from the G.E. adapter where oil filter goes..
leak only occurs when the engine is under a load
the leak is coming from the filter side NOT the block side
(its not the filter/gasket etc..)
--I thought it was a defective adapter so I bought a brand new one.
Still leaking.....Is it possbile the I have too much oil pressure?
Ihave yet to hook up a gauge so i have no readings to tell you
(i know that is my next step)
I did use the gsr oil pump--
anyone ls vtec turbo using gsr oil pump??
This isnt an all of a sudden leak, the motor was just installed and has been leaking ever since. 97ls block-98gsr head
any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Did you put anything like loctite on the threads?

11SEC CIV

have any catch cans hooked up?

11SEC CIV

no catch can installed...doesnt leak at idle--can let sit for an hour and wont leak...
I'll drive for it for 5 mins...put back on lift and is leaking...whether I boost or not...
Im going to try and bypass the adapter and just run line to head from oil pressure switch...hopefully that will solve it...
any other suggestions?????????

any input may help--maybe im missing the obvious

TRC

like you said, you should check your oil pressure first. i h ave the same set up and i dont have any leaks anywhere.
