Preventative maintenance won't stop oil leaks, unless your maintenance involves replacing the pan gasket, replacing the banjo bolt copper o-rings, replacing the o-rings under the oil filter, replacing the oil cooler lines, metering pump gasket and lines, etc.

RB oil lines are $200? I'll give that a shot then. how did you disconnect your oil cooler lines cuz i'm having trouble doing that right now... especially the one near the oil pan.

My car leaks trans fluid, now that it is out I am looking for the part numbers for the front and rear gaskets/seals so I can replace them?

Mine used to have a leak from a turbo fitting. But it has an oil leak from the front now, and I'm not sure where. What's this OMP you all speak of? Is that the small block on the front of the engine with the small oil lines going in and out of it? That might be my problem whatever it is.
