Hello everyone. I just bought my first S2000 and today I noticed a small puddle of oil on my garage floor. I believe I found the culprit, however I’m not exactly sure what it is. It looks like something may have been deleted and capped off? It seems to be leaking where it connects to the engine. I am also able to wiggle that connection as well, which I assume is not normal. I was hoping someone could tell me what this is for and if I should replace it or just tighten it up. Thank you! Please let me know if you are unable to see the pictures I’ve attached.

 

That is an oil return tapped into the oil pan. The car used to be turbo or SC.

 

Wonder if he's sorry he asked?

 

Thank you! That explains why I couldn’t find the part haha. Is it advisable to tighten it up or would it be better to replace the pan?

 

I'd say the best way to block that line is not with any old rubber line, a bolt, and hose clamps.
There are better ways. remove the rubber line and see if there is a threaded male end.
good luck

I'd probably replace the pan. If you aren't gonna use it. No sense in that port being there.

 

Sounds good! I appreciate everyone’s feedback!

 

It’s the right spot for a Vortech oil return line.
