stop leaking you f*cken oil return!

[Jazz9]

Hello Everyone,

Has anyone got any ideas about fixing a leaking oil return?

I've tried genuine gaskets, rtv black and rtv copper. It allways leaks from the bottom seal. tried a different oil return line too.

I'm about at the stage where im gonna take the sump off and get a AN fitting welded to it.

i thought mine was leaking from there but when i double checked, it was leaking from the part where the ridges are in the middle of the return pipe. i guess as it flexed in and out over time, the crack appeared. I fixed it by cutting the ridge part out and using oil cooler line big enough with 2 hose clamps to temp. fix the problem til i get a new one

Have you got the oem bolt washers/seals?

I thought I had a leak there. But it's actually coming from around my rocker cover.

agree with baz, its common to forget that oil can also leak around the bolt holes as well..

i haven't triedt the genuine bolts / washers. Are they a special type? or can I use a flat washerwith sealent on it?

 

[bazeng]

They are special.

They are a copper washer with an oring built in.

Ask Sivart for the part #.
He keeps them in stock at MITSU KNOX

Maybe your surfaces are not quite flat anymore as well, maybe an idea to square them off.

Using the GT pumps kit and toyota sump sealant (get from the dealer) worked after i had a fight with mine. The toyota black sump sealant is awesome stuff.
Dont have to take the sump off to weld a fitting with these kits.
FP sells a similar kit.
Also look on ebay "MAP Oil Return Line Kit Pushlock DSM Eclipse Talon Laser w/ Mitsubishi Turbo"

Agree with Baz and Jayrome. 95% of leaks come out thru the thread holes...

As I said above I had a leak from rocker cover which leaked down the turbo. Fixed that. And still got a tiny leak from non gen bolts in the oil return line. So the two leaks joined into one

Anyone got a pic of genuin bolts for the return line?
