Just one of those things I ponder sometimes....
I wonder if the O-Ring leakage issues could be causes by using non DFI oil? I know for fact many European cars will develop leaks when using the incorrect oils as their seals will shrink with many oils on the market
Don or anybody that actually knows the answer: I have another question of interest to me: When the engine mounted oil tank is no longer filling due to no pressure from the reserve tank it would seem to that some loss of pressure may result in lower oil pump output since it would be dependent on gravity flow. Your thoughts...……..I have heard many say just run it for the and be sure you don't run out, Fix it when off the water
