Have you made sure your oil fittings are tightened all the way? If you haven't you should sell the car.

that could be the only explination. My suggestion to you? the allmighty teflon+threadlock combo. Wrap the fitting in like 5 or 6 layers of teflon tape, then add some threadlock blue to the outside and retighten...allow to dry. If that shit leaks you can kick me in the nuts
