I have a leak from my oil return line . The welds appear fine, i believe it is from the turbo. I have a rubber hose connected to the fitting, it appears to leak where it connects to the oil pan and the turbo, coming out from underneath the rubber hose. The connections are not threaded, so I cant use a SS line. I have basic clamps right not, will better clamps help the leak? Also, is there some sort of high temp silicone I can put around the hose connections that will help with the leak?

 

I had the same problem. They just replaced the rubber hose with a steel braided one and used regular clamps.

 

How did you connect the steel braided line to the oil pan return outlet? Was the outlet threaded?

 

No it wasn't threaded. They just used clamps.
