Possible Barbell Plug Leak? Does the inner plug on the barbell plug, the one with the ridges, completely seal the oil passage? I'm getting indications that oil is leaking past this plug thereby partially or mostly bypassing the filter.
Are you getting an oil leak from the back of the engine onto the ground?

No, just from the previously mentioned port. I assume you're thinking that the rear plug might be leaking. I have excellent oil pressure, so I think that one is secure. I wouldn't know if it's leaking anyway; as I understand it would just leak back into the oil pan.
This issue is probably one of those "problems" I think I have found when it's really not a problem at all. It's just that the guy I got the pre-lube procedure from didn't mention a leak. He hasn't answered my message to him either.
