OPSU question Ok so i installed almost all my boltons over the weekend and now ive notice i have an oil leak but really only while the car is running or right after its shut off. im pretty sure its the opsu because i broke the original and didnt have the socket for the new one so i got it as snug as i could with what i have. i went to advanced today and picked up the socket. what is the torque spec for this so i can ensure i wont have any leaks again cause i dont feel like pulling the intake alot lol.
My other question though is if its leaking oil out of the opsu area can it get onto the clutch somehow? just wondering because i have never had a problem with the clutch prior and now (while its leaking) it slips in 5th and 6th sometimes. i really hope nothing else happened cause i did have to remove the driver side motor mount to get my headers in but it was supported by a jack the whole time and only got lifted about 3-3.5".

My 01 helms says the torque is 15 lb ft.
Edit: It's 15 for the 98 also, guess they're all the same.

thats a tough one.... you might try spraying some brake cleaner around the bellhousing that should get all the oil out. if its a stock clutch and its got some miles on it, your bolt ons might have just pushed it over the edge. mine went out at 35k with just bolt-ons.

thanks everyone got the intake pulled to day and tightened it up. aparently it had alot more to screw in since i didnt have the socket before lol. so it sealed up and drove it. must not have been much oil getting in there because it started grabbing in 5th and 6th slamming it wot and various speeds/loads.
