Strange oil leak

[Turbo Monk3y]

Well My car was perfect before i installed my new 14b turbo No oil leaks from any place else except for after i installed the new turbo. The Oil Feed line from the oil pump to the turbo is fine and does not leak. There fore the only other oil place that i have messed with is the Oil return Line which i think is the problem. It does not leak from the area where it bolts up to the oil pan. I think it is leaking from where it bolts up to the underside of the turbo... Now i did reuse an old gasket from my t-25 it was the Aluminum gasket. Do you think that reuseing that gasket could be the problem... Please help Thanks

Yep that most defenatly could be the problem. If you can, just unbolt it again and slap some RTV silicone on the gasket and put it back together , let it sit overnight and let her rip. or you can order a gasket and wait, either way its most likely that

You also need crush washers under the heads of the capscrews. Electrical ring terminals are soft enough to work just fine. DO NOT TRY TO GET THEM REALLY TIGHT, they'll strip out faster than a valve cover will crack.
