Ok so I just got my third turbo s2k together and I've always gone off the timing cover with the oil drain and that is what I did with this one as well while the motor was out of the car and didn't think anything of it, once it was together and in the car however I realized the drain line is flat and has no slope to it at all and the turbo occasionally leaks oil out of the center section because of it. The kit is and inline pro log and precision 35r turbo and everything else is perfect but this one problem. My other turbo kits have all been sidewinders so the timing covers worked perfect for a drain on those but the turbo sits too low on the inline pro log manifold on this car.

My question is where would be the easiest place to re locate the drain without having to pull a bunch of stuff or without welding into the girdle? I don't want to have to pull the motor back out to fix this problem.

My first thought was to pull the oil pan and weld a bung in it but I am not sure if it will still back up the oil since the motor tilts to the passenger side and the oil seems like it would be constantly at a level that would keep it from draining back properly, thus the reason I'm posting this thread to get people's experienced opinions.

have a pic of how the line is?

It's hard to see how it is now but here is a pic that kinda shows how flat the return line is

I believe the oil pan itself is flat

I would try a 180 or 120 an fitting if that doesn't work then your going to have to move it.

changing the fitting isn't going to fix anything I already know it needs to be moved I'm asking where to move it to in the easiest way

you may get a better angle if the fitting was pointing at the turbo, that's the first easiest way if that doesn't work drill and tap the girdle in the car.
