Is there some sort of copper washer or seal that is supposed to to on top of the bolt where you are saying it is leaking? Maybe you just need a new one or forgot to install one there.

Did you over tighten the banjo bolt on the turbo and twisted it or put a crack in the bolt. Also make sure you have the correct size smash washers that go there..

it dident come with any type of washer should i put one anyway it juss screws right into the 4an thred should i put a washer then screw it back in ....what kind of washer .....the kit i bought is the ebay one that comes with a braided line and some gaskets and washers but i dont think the washes will fit what washer should i use/// its not spitting out the bottom of the bolt but from the top of the nut that screws on the 4an

Pictures would sure help me. I don't know if anyone else has any easy answers, but I just can't visualize what you have going on there.

I used a plastic washer, my turbo was leaking from that same place.

A little piece of advice, the ebay kits are garbage. I personally had the feed line break on me. Now that being said, there shouldn't be a washer there. Did you tighten down the fitting enough? It will leak if it is not a good seal. My only other suggestion (DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK) is to use YELLOW tephlon thread tape.

edit: I just re-read your first post. If you are saying it is coming out of the top of the new oil feed line, you did not tighten it down enough. You need to hold the turbo fitting while tightening the oil feed line fitting.

OK, where it is leaking, is there a joint, or is it just leaking out of that fitting? It looks like the fitting may be bad to me from your picture.

the fitting is new just put it on with the line the top of the fitting gos screwd in the bolt nut that i marked its leaking from there on the top theres no weld or joint but its lose so the bolt can rotate into the thred ....could it really be i dident tightin it down enough

Yes. I also would not trust an oil feed line from ebay.

You might as well try to tighten it a little more. What's the worst thing that could happen, it would leak more? You might end up getting another quality line from a proven source though. Sounds like me and some things I had to learn the hard way on.

ok ill try to tightin it more and see what happens if it stops leaking or not .....thanks i know the lines suck from ebay but its all i got right now and i need my car to go to work....let me try this and ill come back and let you guys know if it worked or not..
