13Bt oil leak
I got a pretty bad oil leak coming from just above the oil temp sender (spark plug side) its actually squirting out from between the rear rotor housing and the back plate it spits out there and there is also a steady dribble where it runs off the bottom of the engine like when you have a tap turned on just faster than dripping , so its a steady stream ... i noticed the problem when i got home after breaking the rear end off the gearbox ( just behind where the gearstick is ) I made it home ( apx 70 kilometers ) and now when i start teh motor i see the problem i described above. ideas anyone ? , im hoping its just a seal or somthing , its a quite powerful engine and is non-dowled and puts out 300hp at the wheels just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and if so what was teh out come , all ideas suggestions welcome

Is this a
heavily-modded motor? Seems it would be tough to break the plate... what style of porting?

Affirmative , its a garett t04 machined out to fit a 66mm compressor wheel oil cooled turbo , turbo ported, it was built for a drag car project by dalton automotive (in Australia) it put out a tidy 303hp at the rear wheels on 6lb boost with a screwed diff , should get another 50 hp easily with a better diff maybe a borg. Overall its a very good package , little hard to drive in the wet tho ;)its definatly the most powerful car I've ever owned in a way im not surprised that this happend but then , that will learn me for not gettung it dowled in teh first place ...
