Issues Sealing Sump Options

[swerve]

Hi Guys,

Have been having an issue sealing my sump (swapped from 5s-fe to 3s-gte). As we know, sump is the same as the 5s-fe except with the oil return hose input on the new sump.

I have now sealed the sump (with corret silastic) twice with the same result. A small leak down the back and on the clutch side. Is being sealed as per manual instructions.

Before I pull it off yet again, does anyone know of any issues / complications that I may be overlooking?

Starting to get frustrated with little issues stopping me from a trip to the dyno with the new turbo install

Thanks heaps!!!

are you getting too much pressure in the crank case? that can cause oil seeps and leaks.

No oil warning light. Not sure how else to check the crank pressure, however, can't see what would have been changed to affect the crank pressure. Have tapped into the oil pressure switch for a turbo oil feel. Unless the return line is building up pressure, but once again, cannot see how it would.

what i was trying to ask wasnt oil pressure, but crankcase pressure caused by blowby from the rings into the crankcase which can cause the oil pan gaskets to leak. i'm not sure how to check for this, but make sure the PCV is correct and working, boost can also enter through that system from the manifold.
