Default Really bad oil leak

Hey guys I have an EJ8 with a GSR swapped into it. I noticed I've been losing a lot of oil and wondered where it was coming from. Well now I found the culprit but Idk what it is.




It's shooting out of that gold thing in the middle

That looks like an oil pressure split valve for your oil pressure sensor and turbo oil supply line that has been blocked off. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...e/P1070746.jpg

You can take it off assuming your not running a turbo and put your oil pressure sensor back into the block(use Teflon tape or/Honda bond for the threads). Maybe the engine was turbo prior to you buying the car/or engine??

Yea the car was turbo before I bought it. So which part do I take off? just that gold nozzle part? or that whole thing?

You can take off the whole split valve and just keep the oil pressure sensor(of course)and put it back in the block like at was from factory like this ---> http://www.ff-squad.com/tech/sensors/oilpressure.jpg
