Need help with an oil leak.

1fst54 · 09-15-2008, 09:38 PM

I have a leak in two spots on the return line of the turbo. Both are coming from the AN fittings. I have already replaced one and it didn't seem to help. What size lines are you guys using?
What size AN fittings are you using?
And what fitting is needed coming out of the turbo?

DO I need something to reduce the amount of oil coming out of the turbo back into the pan. Are the fitting not able to handle the flow?

FYI, both fittings are 45 angle and the leak seems to be coming from the nut anf the hard line of the fitting. Shag and I snugged the crap out of it a week and a half ago. Two days later the upper one leaks even more now.

I have never had any an fittings leak like what you are explaining, sounds like maybe you are installing the fittings wrong...
