Oil feed line is leaking.

[DAILYTSI]

First let me just day hi this is my first post. I am about to purchase a 95 2wd TSi and I have a concern. The car has a 6bolt swap, Pacestter manifold and a stock turbo. My first concern has to do with the the oil feed line. It is leaking pretty badly and I don't see a bolt to hold it in place it almost appears as if the line is just stuff down in the hole, I know this can't be correct but I am not sure what this fix is. Is the line damage or is there just something missing. I have tried to search for a close up of the turbo but I can find one. Also while I was doing research I found a webiste that was showing very detailed pictures of the 2g engine bay along with the descriptions and name of parts that you can click, but I can't seem to find it again. If someone could tell me the address to that website I would be very greatful.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I will removed the line and inspect the threads. Should there be any threads showing once the line is tight? I have been looking at those stainless steel lines but I wanted to make sure that it works with the stock line before I upgrade just in case I need the extra money if the turbo is the problem.

How many threads showing? I would have to pull too many covers off my manifold at this late hour but there should be one or two threads showing above the surface of the CHRA. If it's buried up to the hex nut then I would suspect the flare is very thin or missing; hence your oil leak. You need the 14B or 16G guys to help out here. I have a T28.

I finally got my Stainless oil feedline from Extreme Psi for my 14-b and I was just wondering is there anything specific I should know before installing the line?

If you don't have them, get yourself a set of flare fitting wrenches; the ones that look like a box end with a piece cut out to allow the wrench to fit over the tubing. Too many fittings end up with rounded hexes because an open end wrench was used. Route the oil line so it isn't near the down pipe.

Thanks for the advice. I have a set of line wrench at work. I installed the line today after work and the leak is gone!!! Now it is time to fix everything else!!
