I'm currently running a slightly modified stock return line on my 35R. By modified, I mean that I enlarged the bolt holes and shaved the flange down a bit since it was a tight fit. I have oil leaking from where the drain meets the turbo. I have recently replaced the gasket and tried my best to ensure the flange is flat, but I still have a drip.



I'm thinking of loosening the turbo bolts to allow the center section to swivel and then re-tightening the drain bolts to ensure that the turbo is indeed correctly clocked and the two mating surfaces are flush. Past that, i'm thinking of just making a new turbo return using the ATP oil drain flange from that I have, some braided line and maybe the end of the stock tube where it enters the block.

Thoughts? Comments?

Post your oil return setups, preferably with pics.

So I just had a piece of the o-ring from the oil dipstick go into the pan. I drained the oil and it didn't come out. Is this going to be a problem? Obviously it's not going to get sucked up the oil pickup, I just don't like the idea of it in there.

Anyone got a busted rad sitting around? I need a drain plug. Mine works, but probably not forever.

I'm going to say from a 94-98 850, S/V/C70 turbo since they're probably all the same. I'm not sure if they changed the rad at all in 99.
