I attempted to start my SR today and I noticed later on that my SS lines were leaking oil from the oil inlet lines, on both ends. When I installed the lines I tightened them up to as far as they could could and ever retapped one of them and they fit like a a charm. For some reason now they leak oil slowly. I searched around but couldn't figure out anything. Any suggestions??? Also I could not find the fuel pump relay, I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me out with that, its an S13 SR into an S13.

Unless the connection is brass to brass I always recommend using plumbers tape.

If you have a UV light you can look at where the leaks/cracks are on the line.

Well all the leaks are coming from each end of the lines on the connections. And I just saw the water outlet line is also leaking

OOO, forgot to mention, the fuel pump does work, I can hear it when I put the key in the ON position. I'm thinking its the relay? People have been saying something to do with the relay and its wiring?

My first impression of the problem would say yes but I've never personally dealt with it and I don't want to give misinformation.

Are you 100% sure that you have the fuel lines in the proper location? The fuel return line will be the one with the fpr at the end of it.

Yea I have them in the right location, I just verified it again and they were in the right spot. However when i checked the voltage on the relay I saw that top left pin had no voltage so I'm assuming there's my issue. Does anyone know where that wire leads to? I tried tracing it down but my wires are pretty crammed and its making it difficult to follow it.

if your pump is turning on, but no fuel is coming out the injectors, either the injectotrs are not pulsing, or the fuel lines are reversed.

Well I'm 100% certain the lines are in their correct spots but what do you mean by not pulsing?
