Oil feed line for turbo leaking... any ideas?
Ok, I've been trying wrap my brain around this one for a while and I can't find what I need. I have a banjo bolt for my 14b turbo and its a male and with an inverted flare on the tip, and my oil feed line is a female with an inverted tip as well. so its kind of like this ---< >O. Now, it doesn't seem to make a tight seal even with a compression sleeve in the middle <=>. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a good seal here?
Heres a picture of what i'm talking about...

Are you sure that is where the leak is coming from? On my 14b it was leaking from the washers not sealing properly.

I'm pretty positive. I'm using teflon paste but its not leaking at the threads, its leaking from the back where the braided line meets the female nut. And I'm positive its not the washers because I used rtv silicone to seal them tight.

banjo, cut that fitting off and weld a flared fitting on
banjo, find a flared male/female fitting and put it over the banjo fitting, then bolt on
try either 1 of those methods,
or get a new flared banjo fitting and ur set
is this by chance a greddy oil line and fitting?

Re: (herecomesboost)
LOL, I'm an idiot. I just realized that the stock lines are prebent/one piece. Here is a link, the fiting shouldn't have that inverted flare.

With the Stealthmode oil line, you need to get rid of the banjo all together and use the M12x1.25 fitting provided.
