Oil Leak by the Turbo feed line

[91tsitalon55]

So I have a 91 tsi talon and there was a leak that appeared to be coming from the oil feed line going into the turbo and the first thing i thought was new copper washers. But I replaced them today and it still leaks... its looks as if its coming from the turbo or behind the oil feed line.

Whats the next step to this frustrating oil leak?

Change out the stock line for a ss braided line with a fitting that screws directly into the center cartridge (where your oil feed goes)

Well pics would help diagnose a little better..

I had this problem recently with my oil feed line..I replaced the crush washers and it fixed it right up..You might not have the crush washers on correctly..Look at the oil feed line whils running and see if it looks wet on the upper part..If so it's probably the crush washers aren't sealed properly..

If your runing the stock oil feed line it could be a hole in the line.You might have kinked the stock hard line and that's why its leaking..

+1 on the ss braided line, but it still uses the banjo bolt and crush washers from the head..

I put new copper washers in and it stopped leaking !!!! .. The first washers i put in were too big and I put JB weld on the oil feed line to make sure everything that looked like a hole was sealed.

Jb weld?? shoulda used RTV instead, at least if you plan on taking it off in the future it will come off and stop leaks JB weld is going to make thinks pretty solid .

I aint gonna lie, the use of jb weld on the feed is epic, that leak can be pesky sometimes, I stopped mine by making my own line from -4an line and two hose ends plus the fittings and what not.
