Re: Leaking Oil...
Have you made sure your oil fittings are tightened all the way? If you haven't you should sell the car.

Re: Leaking Oil...
that could be the only explination. My suggestion to you? the allmighty teflon+threadlock combo. Wrap the fitting in like 5 or 6 layers of teflon tape, then add some threadlock blue to the outside and retighten...allow to dry. If that shit leaks you can kick me in the nuts
