i just finished up my kit on my z6 and i was searching for an exhaust leak and thought i might as well check all my oil lines to make sure theyre not leaking. everything was dry and had not leaked, but on the bottom of the oil return right before it goes onto the fitting for the pan...the hose is kinked a lil bit. it still has a channel for oil to flow but not the roundness of the rest of the hose. kinda looks like !! while the rest of the hose looks like ( ). im not sure if this could be a big problem or not and if it is what can i do to fix it?i tried to unkink the hose and get it perfect but no luck
TIA

 

Save your turbo and get stainless steel braided lines. I was being cheap and used regular rubber hose for my return and it kinked up and starting smoking. Now my turbo needs to be rebuilt because the seals are blown. Spend the extra bucks and get the Stainless Steel Braided lines.

 

i figured that would be my best so i went and got a stainless steel braided line. much happier now, with that kink i was left questioning if my oil would be returned or not
thanks alot
