Oil drain check valve Anyone know where to get a decent ball check valve that can be used in the oil return line?
Aafter I turn the car off the oil drains down from the scavange pump and I get a puff of smoke on start-up from the oil that seeps past the seals in the turbo. Not super bad, just embarrassing.
I bought one meant for hydraulic fluid but it has too much back pressure.

Where did you get it?What size return line are you running?
