the retaining clip on the rear intake, the one on the right, is on correct and pushing up on the inner tube sealing the o-rings. The exhaust clip, the one on the left, is not on the lip on the inner tube so it did not seal the o-rings like it is supposed to do. They were both off on the front and it blew oil all down the front of the engine and back.
