Oil Feed Line?

How often does an oil feed line start leaking? Or in my case squirting out? Also is it on the driver side of the engine bay?

I'm not sure if its the oil feed line. I think it could be a possibility it's just the braided oil line to the oil cooler. This leak is on the driver side.

not often but it does happen, usally where the hardline enters the flange that bolts to the turbo.. time for a steel braided line conversion maybe?

Ok so the oil feed line is on the turbo side of the engine? Ok the leak is on the driver side of the engine. So I'm am believing these are my oil cooler lines then?

its most likly one of the oil cooler lines, the coolers dont usally leak unless you overtighten the banjo bolts(thus cracking the cooler) or you crash the car..
just order some steel braided lines, you'll be fine
