    New exhaust manifold fitted now oil leaking.

    I've recently fitted a japspeed exhaust manifold and used the oem turbo lines. Now theres an oil leak but i can't seem to find it. Its dripping off the water feed on the block side. All the feed unions are tight and have the copper washers on. Is there anywhere else oil could leak from? Thanks

    The oem lines are prone to cracking.

    As above, one has probably cracked. One went on my S14a and spilt oil all over the M6 toll.

    water feed and water return. they run left and right and the oil feed comes in the top and exits out the bottom of the turbo (drain)

    Did you put on new copper washers? You should always use new ones as the old ones will be brittle

    Ah the leak must be from that line then. Hopefully the new line will sort it.
