So i removed my turbo kit, and put everything back to stock, now when i start my car, it has a very rough start and when i finally get it to start, oil spills out from what looks to be the oil filter. what can be wrong? I dont think it can be the filter leaking.

Why not the filter?

 

hmm. i screwed it in tight, and the oil is leaking a steady amount. a solid drip line.

 

Look at the filter you took off (if you can). Does it have it's gasket? If not you know where it is...

 

man, it sucks because i started up my car, and i was letting it warm up whe ni see this huge puddle underneath it, and i thought to myself.. hmm it didnt rain. Turns out it was all oil!

he is saying when you changed you filter you left the o-ring from the old one if this happens it will leak

also how was your oil feed to the turbo run was it a sandwhich plate maybe you removed the feed line from the plate and did not plug the hole?

i removed everything and just plugged the oil pressure sensor back into the block.

 

gotta be the oil pressure switch or the filter was double gasket. did you run a sandwich on the filter for the turboline?

 

^Exactly! Do you use Teflon tape on the oil switch? Please do examine more closely to see which of the two the oil is coming from.

BTW, when I bought my '92 VX and did the first oil change I did accidentally double O-ring the filter. The dang old, old, old filter left its O-ring behind and I didn't see it from above the motor as I screwed on the new one.

Good luck!
