The swivel on the return line from the turbo (on the oil pan) is leaking a few small drips.

I don't like it.

Is there a way to fix it?

 

Cmon now? Any way to fix those types of fitting leaks?

 

The swivel point on my 45 degree fitting on the pan leaks too.

 

Damnit, has anyone fixed one before?

I'm going to gum this thing up with teflon tape today if I can't figure something out.

 

Hate to say it but I think you guys should get um welded
Cheep insuarance

 

huh? the swivel of the hose end is leaking?
i would chalk that up to not being tight enough. it seals on the inside with that 45 deg angle.
if its not tight enough , no seal.

I think the fitting is probably brazed on, are you implying that they should weld the stainless/anodized aluminum fitting?!

 

Try tightening it if it is still leaking........Replace the fitting

 

That happened to my 90 Degree fitting too. Very little though. I tightened it more and that solved it. Fittings seal with the 37 degree angle. If it's nto tight enough = leak. Try teflon tape too..could help.

 

I have cleaned the joint with soap and water AND used teflon tape + light hondabond. They're very tight.

It is leaking from the joint, you cannot tighten that.

Anyways, I ordered replacements, they should be here soon...

 

I've got the same problem with my 45 degree fitting.

I have tried everything and still leaks from the swivel joint.

let me know if the new fitting solves it.

Also, I had an idea that the oil level is too high, but the fitting on the pan is as high up as it can physically go.

 

Can you tell me what brand fittings you guys are using..that way I would avoid them?

 

I'm replacing with some earls fittings.. different ones though.

Get them from bakerprecision.com

I got this one:

45 degree bent tube. Part # 804610


And an AN to pipe fitting (1/2"). Part # FCM2009


I haven't recieved them in the mail yet, but I'll report back after I install them. I don't like the 45 degree swivel that comes with the drag kits.. so I got the tube swivel and a pipe fitting.
