turbo oil return line leaking
I just installed my turbonetics t3/t4 turbo and I am having a problem with the oil return line. It is leaking from the top of the steel breaded hose. I want to know if anyone has used anything besides steel breaded hose? Everytime I try to tighten a hose clamp on it they all break. I have them on as tight as I can get them with out them breaking. Any suggestions would help.

Re: turbo oil return line leaking (RAWB)
I tapped the pan and it has a nipple on the turbo. It is just a 10an steel breaded hose. It doesn't have anything to thread onto or anything like that. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Heat hose here...
I am sure there is a better designed hose for this specific use, but I haven't found it. What dose everyone else use?

earls fittings and line here
edit:
make sure its not leaking from the flange, maybe from the gasket?
you may want to invest in earls fittings, they are top notch
