What are the symtoms that lead you to believing oil is stacking up?
Are you sure you are backing up oil?
Where do you have it tapped now?
I am assuming you are running a turbo so are you running a top, bottom, sidwinder......
What size drain line do you have now?
Have you installed a clear hose on the drian to test?

This is where you want it per Ultimate Racing. I've had mine this way with a -8 drain line for 7 years with no issues at all.

Also, you can drill it by hand using a large T-handle tap holder but you may have to cut the bit down so it'll be short enough to get it in there or you can get a short shank drill bit. You need to drill a small pilot hole first too and you can also do this by hand. The aluminum is pretty soft so its not hard to drill by hand, just take your time and it'll work.

I talked to Mase the other day about this after my turbo went out due to other issues. You should give him a ring, recently he used clear tubing on another car with the same issue and they did not stack oil in the drain line meaining that your problem lies in the turbine seal or too much oil pressure.

Which turbo bearing option did you buy?
