Turbo Oil Line Leak

So the fitting that goes directly between the compressor side and exhaust side leaks when I push it for a bit...Not bad...just enough to stink...It's one of those scre in fittings that doesn't have a washer.

I was told to re-teflon it..

Any other ideas...Just seems this spot gets so hot it would just burn that **** right off.

Whadda Ya Tink?

You can retape it but first I would remove the tape and see how it threads if it threads kinda loose you may have a fitting that is slightly off. In which case you will need the proper fitting. It has happened in the past on kits that were not sold through A-spec before. Also make sure you start the wrap about one to two threads back or it will get in the bearings and then you will have failure.
