So noticed a little leak from the oil feed fitting. Took it off. Wonder why. Looks pretty mashed up. Did someone cross thread this or just from heat/vibration? Had this on for years with no issue.

I don't have a turbo cover. I do have a turbo blanket. Stainless line with plenty of give and length.

Maybe replace that aluminum feed elbow with a stainless steel unit . It will be much more durable
 
What do you guys put on the threads? I had thread sealant tape on it before
I use Loctite 567 . You can use it on head bolts or front cover bolts that go into the water jacket .
