did you replace the lines with stainless or did you keep the hard line? well if you kept the hard line. you must not tighten up one side all the way then the other hard lines will not seal all the way you must tighten one side a little then the other back a forth. loosten all the fittings turn them 1/4 turn when tightening them again. try replacing the copper washer on the front oil feed also.

I don't want to do that to my car. I do it at work to some parts and stuff but thats the shitty way out especially on you own car.
