ON Turbo oil/coolant lines

Is it possible to buy the hoses that connect to the turbo seperately? i'm talking about the oil inlet/outlet and coolant inlet/outlet hoses.

Thanks

Edit: my oil return line is leaking at what seems to be the turbo fitting, it's creating white oily smelling smoke. Turbo wasn't smoking before pulling it off and the smoke comes from the bottom of the turbo, just in case anyone was thinking the turbo was bad.

Are you sure the gasket isn't peeled off or anything? I had the same problem before. But it was because of a leaky feed line. (I have a stainless feed line.

yes, the turbo uses most standard flanges so you can indeed make your own lines.

I know i've seen how to set up SS braided lines documented somewheres, but before i bring the car in to the shop next week, i need to know if the oil return line can be bought seperately or if they only come with new complete turbo assemblies. I think i might have broken it reinstalling the turbo and matching everything up.
