Im looking into buying a 240sx with a black top sr20det. The car has a few problems one of which is an pretty bad oil leak from the back of the exhaust side on the block. The guy says the oil leak is coming from to line that runs from the valve cover to block. I trying to figure out where there line goes into the block and how hard is it going to be to replace. Will it have to be pressed in or does it screw/bolt in? Here is a link to a picture of the block.http://www.goodlinesracing.com...6.jpg

So its leaking from the t? why do u have the oil feed, drain and coolant feed/return circled? The T is pressed into the valve cover you can pull it out by hand. U need a line going from the back of the t to the crankcase ventilation tube.

I dodnt circle those, its just a picture found on the internet. Its leakng where the hose on the right goes into the block. right behind the exhaust manifold. Its the metal tube comng out of the block that needs to be replaced. Can I do that myself or will a machine shop have to put it in?
