Question about leaky oil feed line *PICS* "RESOLVED IT"

Well i reinstalled my FMIC back on and I'm still having a little leak out of that one oil feed line on the turbo. Would any1 have any intelligent comments on what would be causing this. I already have oil catch can and didnt help at all. If any1 could help me at all i would greatly appreciate it.

You sure its tight? Its in a very hard to reach area and I have trouble getting ample torque on it. Could have damaged the threading?

well i havent touched the nut at all. I tried to get to it but didnt suceed. Didnt have the right wrench to get in there. The only thing i can think of is if the dealer didnt tighten it enough cause i did get a new turbo about 1000~miles ago

If the dealer installed the turbo, take your car back and have them fix the problem.

Had to bring mine back in to the dealer three times to stop this line from leaking after my first turbo replacement. I'm not sure what they finally did to fix it, but I know replacing the line wasn't the answer, cause that was the second thing they did.

I almost think they used some teflon tape on it, but I have no real reason for thinking that.

Would this leak pose to any serious problems. This is like the second time taking off and putting on my FMIC so i can bring it in the dealer. I know it's a pain in the ass, but i guess if i have to do it, i have to do it. Is there any thing i can do myself to fix it? maybe unscrew it out and put some thread lock on it?

Any Updates?? I'm gonna try tomorow and see if i can get a small enough wrench to get in there and tighten it.

Well i looked at it today. And i managed to fix it so far. I took off the e-fan so i can get to the bolt with a wrench. I tried to tighten it and it budged about like 1/4 turn. I was hoping that would do it and it seemed like it did!! No more leaking. I guess i never thought about takin the e-fan off so i can get some room until i tried it today.
