Oil Return line is leaking
I have tried everything, and the return line for my turbo still leaks pretty bad. I have clamps on both ends, and loaded both fittings and taps with a shitload of jb weld and liquid gasket, but it still continues to leak. the turbo is brand new, so it cant be that leaking. anyone have any ideas on what to do?

what type of line are you using for return line? is it oil resistant blue/red type? and what type of fittings are you using, are they barbed fittings?

the rtv is honda flange sealant. That is where you made your mistake you bought a cheap oil no name brand. It is a tube you can buy at the honda or acura dealer it says rtv flange sealant.

Hose to barb should be fixed easily with tightening the clamp. Take it off of the barb it's leaking at to clean everything really good, maybe use a new clamp, and wrench on that bitch. lol.
