Default Oil feed, oil pressure sensor T leaking

I used barely any thread tape.. It was pissing me off so I just installed it with barely any on. did i **** up? How many times should I wrap the thread tape? The fittings are pretty small. This is what I bought. Every port is leaking. Block off, sensor, oil line. PLUS the oil feed to the turbo is leaking from the flange. for ****s sake!

I doubt its the tape, its the cheap knock off fittings that is causing your issues.

Red Horse makes some decent ones, or Summit racing has russell/earls for a decent price.

Can someone show me a picture of the T I need? Or where I could get one? I don't know the thread size.
