did you see increased oil pressure? or did you just notice a leak one day?

anyway, if i block it off, I don't have to remove the gear and the shaft, do i? or do I?

i didn't remove my gear and shaft, just blocked it off. I didn't notice a change in the oil pressure either, just leaking oil.

Edit: My car is S5, which might make a difference.

Since the 5spd swap, it runs fine and there are no side affects. The car would be in limp mode (s5) if I removed the entire omp. This just blocked off the ports.

Why I did it?
1) I wanted to premix
2) I didn't want to spend the $32X4 for new oil injector lines.
