hey i just chaged my headers to some aftermarkit one, after i accedently stripped the banjo bolt that connect the oil hard line to block. i got it tight enogh were bearly any oil would drip.. one drip every 5 seconds... anyways i feel like the car lost power. when im under boost i hear a shhhh sound.
is my oil presure building as i rev? is it bad? or can it be a boost leak. the will redline perfectly with no hisitation. soo? what do u guys think.

Fix the drip, with new washers, if its not cross threaded. The noise is air not oil.
