Oil Leak
I have a leak where a hose goes into the oil pan on the pasenger side im pretty sure its for the dipstick. It is not a major leak and I recently switched from 15-40 Rotella to 5-40 rotella and have noticed the I consume a lot more oil and I cant find any other leaks. This leak was there before I switched oils and i didnt consume oil like this. Is it normal when switching to a lighter weight oil to use more and how can you really tighten the metal line to prevent the leak because when you turn the fiiting it moves the line with it.

Be careful if that inner oring comes off you have to pull the engine to get it out. International makes a kit to fix this leak without having to pull the motor but I'll have to wait till tonight to get the number.
