The fitting that goes into the block and connects to the oil feed line is still leaking. Not sure if I want to attempt to tap it again or leave it be. Drove around for 15 minutes and saw a drop collecting after I parked.

make sure you RTV it up pretty good, also put some on the outside of the fitting where the hose clamps down on. just put a little bit there.

i would also put a little extra around the fitting where it thread in after you thread it in for extra protection from leaks.

make sure you let it dry for a while and then put the oil back in.

I found a couple metal shavings and RTV in the screen filter of the oil pump pickup or whatever you call it. It was halfway throught so good thing I pulled it apart I guess, lol.
