So my oil return line...
- Thread starter TurboACCORD
- Start date
The Good:
With the help of a friend, I was able to fix the leak. Took about 5 min and 10 qts of oil lol
The Ghetto:
The previous owner had the return line set up as the following...
From the turbo (going to the oil pan) he had what looked like conduit clamped on to the turbo. From the "conduit," he had clamped a rubber hose. After the hose, he clamped a copper 90* elbow. From that elbow, he had clamped yet another rubber hose going to the oil pan.
Laugh it up boys, I didn't believe it when I saw it.

the return line for a wrx turbo is secured w/ just a pinch clamp from the factory. when you do an up pipe swap you have to raise the turbo up, which causes it to pop out of the hose....if you dont get that thing set back down in there just the right way....you know it. haha.
i ended up replacing it w/ a screw clamp. you shouldve seen the way i was contorted underneath the car trying to get the clamp on and tightend
