Oil Drain Question......NEED HELP!!!
Real quick question.
If the oil pan became over filled and the oil level was past the flange that is welded on the oil pan. would this cause a leak?
does the oil level have to be under the hole for the oil drain flange on the oil
pan???
Dont ask, I tightened the hell out of that fitting.
TIA

i'm pritty sure that if the oil in the pan is above the oil fitting on the pan.. its going to cause a back up in the line... which i dont' think is very good ... but i'm just taking a stab at it... good luck...

if you put the fittings on the line right it shouldnt leak anywhere no matter what....and for the oil level to resting up in the return is no good....you want the drain hold to be made ABOVE where the oil normally rests in the pan...if you have it under then the oil wont drain properly and could eventually ruin the seals on your turbo.

you shouldnt have to "tighten the hell out of the fitting" either....where the line goes into the fitting you, just keep turning it until the red sleeve is all the way to the blue fitting...it shouldnt be torqued down, just when they hit eachother then its as far as it will go.....and if you are talking about tightening the blue threaded sleeve to the pan you DONT want to overtighten that either..you should be able to feel when the two peices hit to make the seal then make about a 1/4 turn after that

this is only true for earls fittings(and others im sure), if you use aroquipe (and probably others) you dont tighten them till they touch. they just get snugged up.

Re: Oil Drain Question......NEED HELP!!! (shadow103rd)
Thanks for all the replies. Still leaking and Ive tried different stuff including
Reassembly.
Bought the same exact fitting and tried it thinking it might be a bad fitting.
G"UNIT: there wasnt any O-ring in the BTW
Nothings worked. HELP!!!
