Default Thread sealant for Turbo oil lines

What type of thread sealant did you guys use for your oil lines. I know you don't need any on the -an fittings but for the fitting that goes directly into the turbo that is 1/4 npt what did you use. I have a pretty nice leak going on there and I don't know if teflon tape will stand up. I really don't want to do it twice because in order to get my turbo out of the car to access that fitting I have to disassemble the entire front end of my car.

Try teflon paste, it usually works better than the tape.
