CANNOT get 1g turbo oil feed line to stop leaking!

[foxfan88]

Ive been having fits getting my stock oil feed to seal. Iv even gone as far as buying a new oil feed line (OEM) and new banjo bolts and copper crush washers (also OEM parts)

Didnt help. Took it all off and even filed on the top of the turbo where the washers sit and on the oil line making sure each surface is flat. Still no luck. It looks likes its coming from the top of the turbo where the oil line screws down but i cant think of anything else to do. I cant see anything in the area that could be leaking oil. Its almost like its something else leaking, as NOTHING i have done has helped at all.

Anyone ran into this problem and have any suggestions, i dont know what to try now.....

Does the banjo look as thought it's seated properly?

well what i would suggest is pull that line and see if there is any cracks on it or if there is any cracks on the turbo its self... thats what i would start form

Try taking out the line and cleaning out the places that you screw them in at and see if the threads are messed up at all cuase if the threads dont line up perfect it can cause it to leak when it builds pressure and if they are messed up you may have to tap it and put in a new thread to screw into.

What lead up to this? Turbo swap, or..? Why is it that it was first removed? Has it always been this way?
