Re: 1997 GSX - DD, RR, and 11's.

Update - started the car for the first time since thanksgiving today.

After installing:
Moroso oil pan
Mishimoto 25 Row univeral Oil cooler
Moroso pan
New FFOFH
New 12an drain line
Removed the oil line clutter so it's down to just 2 lines.
Painted the hood
Installed new passenger airbag
And black leather

And after a minute of idle I found these 2 new oil leaks.
1- pan gasket (let it cure for 3 days prior to to putting oil in the car)
2- the big bolt at the top of the filter housing which I never would have expected to leak. (Or it could be a leak from the pan above it. Not sure)
I'll go out Thursday and see if I can see if the leak is frim the bolt or from above and is a 2nd pan gasket leak.
