Help, oil pan tap leak

Already searched and printed some stuff. The oil pan is tapped for the turbo and the return line is leaking (I didn't do this) because it's just clamped on there with an o-ring and a rubber hoses. Any suggestions on changing this out and with what type of hose?
thanks.

Is the pan fitting leaking or the hose itself? You should weld the fitting to the pan.

Easy solution: get a stainless steel braided line and Earls fittings. I have the crappy hose that came with the Drag kit, in fact, same situation as yours. You won't have to worry about heat or hose cracks with the SS line.
