I NEED Boost... Opinions puh-lease

[Focus_Sh1ft]

Still (patiently) battling an oil leak from the turbo. I'm not entirely sure where it's coming from... There's definitely a small leak at the least from the banjo bolt, but I still don't know about the return flange. I've used like half a tube of JB Weld at this point lol... I think the problem is the leak is in a spot that I can't reach.

And yes, the oil return has some sort of gasket.

Where is it that you are using the JB Weld? If it for the fittings you problem lies there. JB Weld is not intended for that use...

I'm trying to seal the edges of the fittings. I know it isn't exactly how it's supposed to be used, but it has worked.

What I'm currently thinking is the way the return line is setup is causing a huge oil buildup, thus causing a large enough rise in pressure to finally leak out of the return gasket. It's the only thing that makes sense at the moment... I made sure all my seals were VERY tight.

VERY is NOT always good for seals. An example of an oil filter VERY tightened will probably if not sure that you blow your seal and leaks almost immidiately with no pressure at all.

Just a hint!
