check your valve cover gasket? oil pan gasket? for the oil leak? oil lines?

75w90 is good weight for transmission and diff fluild.
Royal purple is one of the top brands.

Heres for the GOV removal:

Stock Oil lines on the turbo always leak on SRs... upgrade to SS lines w/ AN fittings.
Degrease the entire Engine and bay... wait a week and find the leak.

Royal Purple is good for Engine but I would stick to Motul for Trans and Diff.
Guys on my350Z.com did a Diff test with several fluids... Motul has the best life and quietist.

ooo when i degrease the engine, can i use high pressure water, and is it all that i have to cover is the air intake filter, or would there be something else.

fuse and relay locations as well as any electrical connections, MAF, coilpacks, etc... as for oil leak, since you put the relocation kit on, check everything you did for leaks. Make sure you didn't put 2 gaskets on the filter, sometimes the relocation may have one and the filter may have one. After that, instead of high pressure washing, use Brake Cleaner to spray everything down... It will evaporate before it can cause damage to most electrical connections unless it's sprayed directly on. Speed and Rev limiters can be removed by most tuners VIA an ECU flash.
