Default Any known problems with greddy oil pans??

Hey people. well i just wanted to know if any of you heard anything about the greddy oil pan that they provide with the greddy 18g turbo kit..which i currently have on my 350z. im noticing a small minor leak coming from the flange of the oil return line.in between the crush washer and the oil pan itself..i spoke to AAM and they said that most of their customers have oil likes from greddy's oil pan and switch back to the OEM one and use AAMs oil pan spacer kit.. and claim they never have leaks from that point..and i spoke to greddy and they claim they have never heard my issue before haha..so of course im sure they are ******** but who knows.. so i want to ask you all if you have either had the same experience..or heard of any..and where was it leaking from?

^^^very, very, very small leak, not enough to change oil pans. Its more like a residue, because it doesnt drip at all.

I usually check the oil levels and look at the lower engine shroud. Theres no signs of drips or anything that looks like a problem. I dont want to over tighten the line because of the fear of stripping threads.

had that issue. the washers were never enough. silicone worked temporarily but a light coat of gasket maker on the washers fixed the leak completely. Not that it was bad, more like a residue like others have said or a small drip forming, but i'm not going to have oil all under my car.
