Default first day of boost, slight oil leak problem, seal it?

i finnally drove my homemade turbo DOHC ZC, hit 6 PSI, but once i got back i let it idle and oil was dripping like it was coming from where the oil feed line goes into the turbo, i cant tighten it anymore, so i bought this stuff called liquid seal, it can take up to 500 degrees, would it be ok just to put this around the seal to ensure no more leaking>?

Teflon thread sealing tape is your friend, get some of that.

I know the feeling. Since the day I brought my integra home, its been slowly leaking oil from the same location. I am having it fixed though very soon when i bring it in to have my new block put in.

Have you ever put teflon tape in oil and see what happens to it ?
It melts .
Go and buy permatex part#56521 make shure the parts are realy clean and apply.
The only thing is you have to whait over night for it to dry and then your good to go.
