Didnt find exactly what I was looking for with the search, sorry if it has been answered.

Alright.. So my car is so close to being done.. It just had a JDM 7mgte swap. The turbo ecu and gauge cluster were put in the car also. Mhg and arp studs, changed the gasket on the turbo because it was leaking coolant and valve cover gaskets were changed.. Not sure what else I could say that would help you guys out.

My car seems to be leaking oil, not a whole lot really. Probibly a few one inch spots when the car is parked.. But it only happens after the car has been driven. If the car sits there, and runs until operating temperature it doesnt leak any oil.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Also it seems to like to blow the gauge fuse aswell. It will blow if the windows are rolled down, or if I rev the car past about 5000rpm. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks.. I just want my car back and to start boosting! Been down for over 8 months now and all the nice cars are out now. :(

So, did you buy the JDM with the MHG and ARP hardware already installed and just slap it in? or did you do a full inspection on th engine and replace what was needed? If not, then I'd say those JDM seals (possibly cam, or crank seals) are leaking just as bad as any USDM seals would ;).
