Default oil drain w/ lowered car?

I'm chasing some bad oil problems... I have some oil in by charge pipes...


Is my oil line too level? I am also lowered (by 2" in the front)... That would make it worst... anyone give me advice?

thanks.

Why are you lowered 2" in front and not in the back...? And by the looks of it that's pretty level which is prolly your problem.

i lowered the back also... about 1.5" (forgot to mention).. but from stock i thought it looked more lowered in the front... thinking it would make it tilt more.

i guess i'll have to redo the line then... any suggestoins? you can see where my down pipe is routed.. more or less like everyone else. can i get a line between the pan and the dp...

that oil line has to be straight up. You should fix it but you might have to redo your downpipe, to me oil return is more important.

im gonna try to thread a line by the dp and the pan...i'm going to throw a 3/8 spacer in the manifold/head (for other reasons)... this should increase the clearance.. hope this works and be the end to my oil problems..

one more question.. does the nipple on the pan right?
