Fitting Problem...

HI im having a problem with the oil feed line for the turbo, it is leaking oil forn the turbo side, and i dont know if it is the line or the turbo, but here the deal...

I had lost the fitting that came with the turbo and had to replace it, i dont know if it was the correct size but i used a 1/4 inch fitting, and it worked (on a T3 turbo), the prob is i dont know it it is cause its a 2 piece fitting, or because the tip where the feed line conects is not round....


what could it be???

Please help....

even if the fitting is too small, it still shouldn't leak. You need to pinpoint where it is exactly leaking and go from there.
