Battle Ground,

I managed to get some time in and finish putting her together, and from what i can see she is leaking oil from the oil feed banjo bolt from the top of the turbo, and its running down the back of the turbo down the oil return line... Everything has new crush washers and gaskets so i'm stumped... It seemed like the 14b didn't spin as freely in the 16g ebay hotside... What would cause this?? My 14B was fine before i put the 16g hotside on..
Sorry i forgot to mention the leak is pretty bad...
Only thing i can think of is, if I slightly bent the hard oil feed line that goes to the head accidentally while it was out of the car..Making it so it doesn't correctly mate against the surface all the way... :/ What do you guys think??
Any help is appreciated.. Thanks a lot...
Well i found out the leak was caused by me being too cautious on the top oil feed on the head, and not tightening it enough... I barely gave it a 1/4 turn and it stopped leaking..
