Its leaking out of the oil in/out lines on the engine case. The problem is, the o-ring(s) that fit between the double male ends arent cracked or broken at all. What else is causing this leak?

Mine does that too. I think it is coming from the bottom line. Let me know what you find out.

Have you recently pulled your motor???

If so you might have to go get gaskets for the oil lines. also check the sleeves to be sure you did not damage them putting them back in.

The o-rings could just be flat. Over time, they compress, and it allows leakage (I should know; you wouldn't believe how many o-rings are on the F-16:D ).

I have an extra set, ill try that. When it started leaking i thought for sure that those orings had just gone bad but when i dug into it they looked fine. Ill switch in my other pair. Thanks
