[jj2gdsm]

Do you know what is causing it to leak. I just screwed mine in no leaks so i dont see why you would need anything? So is it cracked or broke?

You may want to check your turbo because the oil return line might have a restriction, so it might be building to much oil pressure in your oil feed line makeing that line leak. Or u could just need new crush washers.

I would but mine doesn't have any. I just screwed mine in and they don't leak the slightest. So im not sure what they'd look like but id guess its like any normal washer. Check for breaks or cracks and the other guy is right it could be plugged. pull it off and see if you can blow threw it don't suck in though oil doesn't taste the greatest.

its not pluged it runs great it just has a small leak it smeems to happen only on high boost.

Well you need to get the crush washers if you dont have one. I would look under turbo install for pics, i have camera issues.

If is a t25 turbo teflon tape it. If it requires crush washers, they are copper and it takes two of them.

i already tried teflon ,what i dont get is why two crush washers its looks like a steel brake line .

Interesting. The oil feed line on the GST didn't have crush washers. The coolant lines did, but the oil line did not. And that sucker was all stock before I tore it to pieces. Are you sure that it is tightened down ALL the way? The feed line on the GST leaked when I got it all back together, then I found out the line wasn't as tight as it needed to be. Might sound goofy, but it's still a possibility.

my e3 16g install leaked for about 2 weeks. Just a small amount but when I checked it after I found that my buddy only threaded it in and gave it about 2 twists to tighten, with use and heat it caused the leak.

I also found my other oil leak, but that is a different story and involves a rear main seal...

ill retighten and see what happens.

When i had oil leaking from that location it was because i wasnt using a slightly larger crushwasher, once i put one the correct size one it was leak free but be careful with overtightening the adapter that screws onto the turbo and stripping it.
