Default return line leaking

I was coming home from work today and the weather was pretty warm so I decided to turn my AC. So AC is on and all of sudden i start to smell burning oil. I was like crap....Then my engine started to smoke up.... So I rushed home to see if i can identify where the problem was? As i was looking at the turbo, i see oil on one of the pipes that was connected to the turbo. So i checked the pipe and found that one of the claps was loose, but wasn't the problem.. So i start up my car to see if there were any leaks. And all of a sudden, I found the leak!!!! It was coming from the return line on the turbo side....It has a ripped...

Now my question is:
how hard is it to remove the return line and where can i buy one? Currently im in a budget and can't take it to a shop.
Also what are the procedures of removing the return line?

What i have:
B16 w/ ac and power steering
greddy setup
