The dealership would be your best bet if you can't get it from the local auto-parts store.

That is the factory oil feed line.
You can just replace the whole feed line with a stainless steel line. It will make for much easier and quicker un-installations and re-installations and cost the same or less than a oem replacement piece.

You can find them here :

is it safe to drive the car like this to my work its my dd at this point and i don't realty have many other options

 

[Dsmj89]

It's ok to drive the car like that but be careful and always check your oil level at all times. Don't forget your turbo will fry most likely with time like this.

so its gonna take about 2 weeks to get the part i need a quick temp fix for my issue at hand because i cant keep leaking out 1 quart of oil every 10 miles and about 1/4th is hitting the exhaust im not gonna let my car burn up. what do i need to buy some jb weld and a small peace of 1/4th in hose cut the line and jb weld and clamp the peace of hose on the line? from the section i would cut out. i need a working car

Get that line replaced ASAP with one of the SS feedline kits from the links above. Mine cracked while I was driving, and I lost two quarts of oil. My turbo died a few months later, and I'm pretty sure that was the cause.

DO NOT DELAY ON THIS!!!!
