Oil Leak help
busted off the t-fitting in my block today trying to fix the leak!
Todds sending me a new one cause he said I can't just get one from home depot. I did get the broken bit out with no metal shavings, so taht good.
OH, and hieu came by with some fittings, but his did not work with my setup, but he took my oil pan. We'll see what kind of shape it's in now!

OK, I'm trying to get the other broken piece out of the t-fitting, but it's in there real tight, and it's go some sort of white sealant or something on it. I've tried vice gripbs, the extractor, whatever. Any ideas? Or who I can take the fitting to?
I was thinking of taking it to Sear, Lowes or like an auto shop to see if they could take the pieces apart.

OK, well, I took the fitting to AutoTech and they just broker the f!cker right outa there. I put the new fitting on there with the RTV sealant and just left it hand tight, didn't tighten it again after 60 mins cause I didn't want to break it again.
Well, now I got 2 leaks! now from the t-fitting and from the oil feed line.
I'm thinking of just taking the whole thing to autotech, having them fix the leak, so if they break it, it's on them, and if they leak comes back, it's on them.
Or should I give it one more whack? I mean, how long after i put the Red RTV sealant on do I need to wait?
The instructions say put it on hand tight, then 60 minutes and do 1/4 to 1/2 turn (which is when it broke). but then do I need to let it sit longer before I run the motor?

In this pic, it was the threaded bit connecting the t-fitting to the block that snapped off, but I got a new one.
Now it is leaking right at the block where the new threaded piece, and the oil feed line, going down off that pic.
