Re: fitting started leaking after turbo install (reed857)
easy... u can do a couple different steps
1) use teflon on the fitting where it is leaking. Open it up, clean it out, and teflon it. If that doesnt solve it, check out # 2
2) buy a new fitting.

You could see from the picture that the oil isnt coming from where you circled but its coming above that part. Put a little bit of teflon and tighten it down good and your set.

You're not supposed to use Teflon on AN fittings. They're taper flared ends to seal when they're tightend. The fitting either isn't tightend all the way, or its just not installed correctly.

Re: fitting started leaking after turbo install (reed857)
kind of looks like your fitting is cross-threaded but not the best view of the fitting so teflon it or change it
