I just replaced my head gasket and cams on my sr, and was on my way to the dyno until I found a leak and its leaking good. I bought some dye and put it in and it seems to be coming from the upper oil pan, which I never touch btw, but I did take off my lower oil pan. There does seem to be a little above it but I cant tell.
Is there anywhere else oil can be coming from exept the turbo below the manifold. Is it possible to replace the upper oil pan with the engine in? Does anyone have any other ideas about where I could look? I need to wait till it gets dark.

Front main seal? You never stated if its the front or the side of the engine. Or could possibly be one of the brass crush washers on the banjo bolts for your turbo lines.

I removed my ac system today and I think I found the leak. I have already replaced the crush washers on this and torqued it down. There is no actual torque and I am scared of stripping it. Am I going to have to buy a new line or is there something else I could do.

Can someone please tell me where I can find washers that fit tight against the banjo bolt so it doesnt leak. Autozone, oriely's, advance, and lowes does not have the correct one. Does anyone know a part number for nissan to get them.

I fucking hate myself. I just stipped out the bolt hole for the water turbo line that goes to the block and now not only can I not find heli coil local, but I cant find anyone that will help me do it since I never did it before. someone shoot me.
