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?

 

try some rtv where the hose clamps down.

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?

i bought the oil line kit from cheapoillines.com

what is this rtv stuff you said to use?

 

anyone???

 

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.

 

Is it leaking from the barb fitting threads (to drain flange or pan) or is it a hose to barb problem?

 

i have the same problem hose to barb at the oil pan

 

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.
