Default Turbo install oil leak

Situation....I have been under my car for more than 7 hours (over the course of some days) trying to fix an oil leak from the feed area. I have a tuner toys fitting as well. I plug the oil sending unit into the back of the tuner toy fitting and plug the fitting into the block. I replaced the electrical part of the sending unit and bolted up the feed line. At first I had MASSIVE amounts of oil coming out. Imagine not having an oil filter on and running the car ...or unplugging the oil pan to change your oil. It was worse that that. So I re-tefloned the fittings and re-tightened everything...same thing. Today I messed with it AGAIN and now instead of the massive pour-out, I have a steady stream.....not massive at all but a leak nonetheless. Would the difference in the leak maybe indicate that I havent tightened something down enough....or maybe too much??? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks

just the general area. For me to find the leak I would have to unplug the oil filter AND be under the car....not good.
