Message	I developed a slow leak on my DS turbo oil feed line (JWT BB 550's/SS line). It's insignificant on the street, but 3 days of constant boost on track at Watkins Glen had it leaking quite a bit. I do not have time with work obligations to pull the motor, has anyone sealed/tightened the line while the motor was in the car? Suggestions? Was hoping that maybe I could lower the crossmember and access it from the bottom that way? 93 2+2 Twin Turbo Track Build - jsworks.org for more info!
