Oil Leak on Return Line

Is there any kind of sealant or something that I can use to help stop my oil leak at the end of my oil drain line. I replaced the line and got new clamps too, yet there is still a little leak. Any help would be appreciated. Oil leak never happened first two years I had my turbo installed.

If you've already reinstalled it and it still leaks, I would suspect a possible cut or slice on the end of the hose. If you have a couple extra inches I would take it off again, clean everything, and cut a little off each end to make sure you have good ends.

oil can squeeze out of the smallest cracks over time.
