So i finished my remote turbo build on my 94 Vette however I have a bad oil leak right where my oil return goes through my oil cap. Is it possible to purchase a oil cap or a set of valve covers that has a -10an flared male adapter built into it? I need to do something because this thing just gushes oil all over my headers. This is the closest thing I found which according to the picture it looks like it could fit. Has any one tried this part on a 94 corvette LT1

OP -
I had the same problem; my solution was to spend a little time at the local hardware store and find a few large flat rubber washers and some flat steel washers then sandwich the oil cap (inside and out) with the washer sets - 5 years no leaks.
Having said that, I also used a pass side valve cover flipped over on the driver's side, so I would not need to remove the turbo's oil return set up every time I wanted to add oil.
Good luck!
(Oh, and SNM's solution / fitting suggestions would be an elegant solution too!)
