Default oil drain system

hey peeps, im having a ongoing problem with my oil drain system. First i had a steel elbow that came w/ my turbokit welded to the oil pan, that started to leak at the base of the tube at the weld/pan i then changed that to an adaptor secured into my oil pan w/ a nut and a silicone hose leading to the turbo, it was ok w/ no leaks until like a week later, and started to leak it leaks right at the base of the adaptor as well, can you guys help. what type of drain system do you guys have? does the oil pan build up pressure to cause that to leak?
