Hey guys I finally jacked the car up to see where this damn leak was comming from. I first though the turbo core was leaking then when I stuck my face under the car I saw that it was leaking from a oil line (obviously) comming from the block of the engine. I tried to tighten it up but didn't have the size for it. :( So, since it is leaking there do I just tighten her up or do I need to replace something that I don't see. Please let me know guys. I am guessing it is the oil Feed line.
 
Chances are you are going to have to take the oil return tube off (assuming thats the line thats leaking) and put a new gasket with some RTV on both sides. That should cure most oil leaks.

It isn't the oil return tube, it's the other oil line with the same exact bolt as the oil return tube. Will Teflon tape work on the threads or get burned up by the hot oil?
