okay, my TN ST kit was installed on my G a couple of weeks ago. i am getting oil leaks and its getting a little worst. Looks to be the return oil line. My shop tells me its prolly 'cuz the fitting is a different type of metal compared to the oil pan ( alum. fitting + steel pan )...w/ different expansion rates, thus causin' leaks. i'm curious...has anyone else experienced this? i like how its easy to tell that it's my oil...'cuz its BLUE. hehe. but yeah, does this sound right? or another install issue? this is like the 5th time my cars beeen in the shop.

 

No mine does not leak from the return fitting. Did they teflon tape or pasted the return fitting on there? They should have. There should be no issues with the composition of the two metals causing a leak. If the return fitting was installed properlly there should be no leaks..

 

yeah, that's what i figured. didn't check to see if they teflon taped or pasted the fitting. i'll double check w/ them. i jus wanna drive this car for at least one week straight. arrggghh...so frustrating.

thanks mia for being so responsive to my TN questions.

 

Anytime...

 

Well hopefully your shop is a good honest one, if not I would take a look for yourself and see if you see the paste and the source of the leak.
