Having a little bit of an issue with my oil line. Just put the motor in the car and set everything up. I screwed the fitting on crooked like an idiot, so there's an oil leak. This is what I get for 14 straight hours of work with no food/rest

Anyway, I don't think I'm gonna be able to get the same type of return line. My downpipe is the way, and doesn't let it screw on straight. How curved can my return line be? Also, how long can it be? Right now it's very short and straight. It may work to go around the downpipe. I tried to take some pics but it was very dark, and I was finally clean so I kinda just stuck my camera in there and took pics until some decent ones came out.

Any help/suggestions/pics of other return lines would be greatly appreciated!

Going from the turbo to the oil pan, very tight fit!


Similar pic, but easier to see that I can't move it any more to the left so that it lines up with the fitting correctly (it's screwed on crooked). The red part hits the downpipe.


Different angle. A little easier to see how it's crooked (that's silicon on the threads had to drive it home (a few blocks away and figured it couldn't hurt).

Just another shot:

 

you could prolly try and route it around the downpipe with a longer line but thats the best solution i can think of pretty much if it stays going at a downwards angle it doesnt really matter how long it is

 

use a smaller line, i'm using a 8an

 

go to an exaust shop and have them fix your downpipe and get a new stainless line if that one is messed up. was this a kit or a pieced together setup?
