new oil return line

Had my oil return line replaced. It was starting to leak real bad.
Had it done at xceptional auto repair & performance.
Thanks for the excellent service.

The old one that you replaced wasn't stock (not that you claimed that it was). I'm just wondering if you were aware of that?

No wonder that it was leaking. Hope the new one holds up for you.

Don't think it was a stock turbo. He has DTM 50 trim in his sig.

It was $75.00. Of course, I had to get an oil change too, that was $65.00. Total was $140.00

I am aware that it wasn't stock, but even stock return lines leak.
Thanks

That is correct, I am running a 50 trim.

Sure, please don't get me wrong, I just couldn't tell how much you knew about the stock components of the car (I didn't research your posts or anything) It was just an FYI in case it was helpful for you to know that.

There are a lot of 2nd and 3rd owners of these cars that are sometimes unaware of the extent that their cars are modded to, etc... Sometimes they have been ghetto modded and guys aren't aware of things that might tip them off to other issues, and appreciate the heads up.
But, like you said, not really the case here.

It's all good, thanks for the heads up. I bought my car brand new from the dealership. It had 8 miles as I left for home. lol. Now I'm sitting at 94,000. I do appreciate the heads. Thanks again.
