Default Is my oil return line safe?

Does this look like too harsh of a bend or will I be okay? T25 turbo, AN-10 Line, feed line is AN-3.

I dont think a 45 would work, it would just make the angle even worse. I'd try a 90 off the pan.

Its good enough. You could use a 90 like someone recommend so you take that little kink away.

a 90 will impede flow. Go with a 45 if possible

yea thats what i was thinking...the 90 is probably too harsh of a bend. It may be the only option though.

That should fix things right up

Looks like he can clock the center section just a lil bit, or else it'll be in the way of the downpipe. A 45 would definitely help. You could also try giving the steel bung on the oil pan some taps upwards. The oil pan will give a little.

and don't use vice grips, it looks like your ate some of the fitting. Go to Sears and get a 1" Standard open ended wrench (or it could be 15/16")
