hmm i dont unerstand how it does it with the cap off but not on. Have you 2x checked the lines for cracks? especially ur old line..I duno i have taka lines and i dont have any problems like that, it has to be a hole or something somewhere, are you sure thats where its coming from exactly?

i found the problem a hose not tight enough but now i have devolped an oil leak from the oil return line, so i ordered a new oil return tube and gasket hopefully that solves my problm, by the way motegi the write up for doing the t25-t28 turbo was awesome it really helped me alot
