scan it and google the code. PXXXX. i wonder if it's Bank1 to lean. if you don't have an antifouler on your second O2 sensor it's more than likley going to be the emission code.

jesus....i smell horrible things. just a word of advice, DONT GO INTO BOOST. not that you can really tell cause you dont have a boost gauge, but drive EASY. your gonna destroy that motor real quick if you dont get it tuned asap. especially if your hittin the gas hard. please tell me your running atleast 91??

buy a new oil return line. if you haven't try tightening it down more. the thing with AN fittings is the tighter they are the better they seal. post pictures of your set up and your oil pan and maybe we can help. if you have a hideous weld like i used to you're going to leak because it didn't seal properly.

its not the pan thats leaking.... i had the weld on there redone multiple times....its the peace that screws into the tap on the oil pan....its leaking out of the threads...ive tried using a ton of Teflon tap but that doesnt help ether.. its this peace http://www.dezod.com/pd-10an-push-lock-fittings.cfm ...if using an o ring doesnt work im just gonna order a new one and see if that works.

Have to see the oil pan and fitting to accuratly determine a good way to fix it. I would recommend draning all the oil or at least below the drain line fitting......wipe all the oil off the fitting and apply RTV silicone sealant...wait a few hours or over night and refill with oil - RTV sealant is like $3-$5 at your local auto parts store. This should deff work but may want to look into a new drain line as mentioned before for the long term. Good luck....At minimum get the SS fuel enricher and 440cc injectors as far as fuel enrichment is concerned.

yea, never use teflon tape on -AN fittings, thats why they are leaking. there meant to seal perfectly without thread lock. but just to be safe, use the RTV sealant, that ensures a good seal.

Yes I agree NEVER use Teflon tape for the oil drain/feed fittings. Use RTV or use nothing at all if you are in a pinch. I use the high temp copper RTV silicone gasket maker and it works great.
