V1 LNF Oil Pan

[WA08TC]

So the car is basically golden but been having an issue with the oil drain for the turbo. Had a bung welded on the drain port hole I drilled, the 2.4 gen 3 doesn't have a pre drilled hole but the pad was there. Anyway had a buddy weld a bung but it became slightly restricted when welding, of course did not get a weld on bung. Hose clamps cannot keep oil from leaking and getting pooled up under the oil pan and leaking onto the subframe and intercooler while driving. Can I lower the oil pan with just loosening the subframe enough or does it have to completely come off?

Thinking a -10 such as this above the baffle in the pan as high as I can go. Or having a -10 just welded on in place of the previously welded on bung after I go at the jb weld and welded aluminum with a cut off wheel.

I could be wrong but I’d try to keep it higher in the original spot rather than lower on the pan just cause if the oil level seals off the drain flow a little the turbo housing may not like it.
Just my idea cause efr’s don’t like back pressure and I had to deal with that for a minute.

Only thing helping is I feel with the motor constantly pulling oil from the pain and the turbo being ball bearing a backup issue won't be a problem. Going to put some dye in and see if I can pinpoint the leak location 100%. And remove the pan and see if I can dremel the welded bung/jb weld off and redo it.
